It’s been 20 years of Explosions in the Sky, and the Austin post-rockers are celebrating with a special anniversary tour. Grab your earplugs.

The jaunt begins this September in Mesa, Arizona and wraps a few days before Halloween in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. “We hope to see some of you out there,” the band wrote on Twitter. “And thanks so much for sticking with us for so long. We truly appreciate it.”



Consult the full itinerary below. Find ticketing info at the band’s website, and look here once they sell out.

Revisit our 2016 review of their last album The Wilderness, which we called “a new translation of their sound, almost as if the group has learned to communicate their core through an entirely new language.” You can also snag more Explosions vinyl here.
