Currently in the Midwest as they finish up shows this weekend on a tour that brought them back toward the Eastern Seaboard supporting their 2024 album, Big Dumb Riffs (review here), Austin trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol will embark on their first-ever stint in Europe and the UK this June. By then, they’ll already have their March tour of the West Coast — their umpteenth, I believe — under their collective belt, and they were out this past Fall with King Buffalo, so the voyage abroad could hardly come at a better time, momentum-wise. You’d almost think these things were planned out in advance.

The PR wire brought dates and ticket/album order links. I don’t know if the video for “Whip it Around” has been posted here yet, but that’s definitely a worthy way to spend a literal minute of your day. Among the slew of Eurofests they’re playing, I was hoping they’d get added to Desertfest Oslo, which I’ll hopefully be attending in May, but apparently no dice as yet. Will keep my fingers accordingly crossed, as this is a band I feel like I need to see.

The dates:

Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol announce full EU & UK tour dates in May, Western US tour in March

Austin trio Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol announce the complete dates of their upcoming first ever EU and UK tour today, kicking off on May 15th. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available now HERE: https://taplink.cc/rickshawbillie
