Passion Pit Celebrate 10 Years of 'Manners' with North American Tour Canadian dates include Toronto and Vancouver

Published Feb 04, 2019

Beloved indie electronica group Passion Pit have maintained a steady pace of releases over the years, but it's now officially time for them to look back. As such, they're celebrating 10 years of their Manners LP with a North American tour.The anniversary tour includes Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver, and you'll find the entire itinerary below.Of the Manners milestone, frontman Michael Angelakos shared the following statement:One of the greatest challenges for me, has been attempting to listen back to Manners and not relive the terror, confusion, and euphoria that it was so vividly informed by. For most of my life, I've ignored or dismissed it as a type of coping mechanism. It always seemed to play back like an audible dream journal I can't even remember writing. And, the years we spent touring in support of it were never easy, especially in the beginning, as though playing the songs every single night were a form of exposure therapy in front of an audience. Ten years later, Manners seems to finally feel like the moment that it was: a tectonic shift during the strangest, most defining year of my life. To me, and to many of the people closest to the project, Manners has always been the most deeply misunderstood Passion Pit album. Eleven years after I began writing it, and ten more struggling to comprehend it, it suddenly does not seem so frivolous or self-absorbed to celebrate Manners — to celebrate surviving it, to get another chance to shine a certain light on it, but without the fear and the pain that went into making it. I can't think of a better way of doing so than performing it live, doing both the album and one of the most significant moments of my life, a healthy justice.Find Passion Pit's full tour itinerary below.Tour dates:04/30 Tempe, AZ - Marquee Theatre05/01 San Diego, CA - The Observatory North Park05/03 Las Vegas, NV - House of Blues05/05 San Francisco, CA - The Masonic05/07 Seattle, WA - Showbox SoDo05/09 Portland, OR - Roseland Theater05/11 Salt Lake City, UT - The Complex05/12 Denver, CO - Ogden Theatre05/14 Saint Paul, MN - Palace Theatre05/15 Chicago, IL - Riviera Theater05/16 Royal Oak, MI - Royal Oak Music Theatre05/19 Niagara Falls, NY - The Rapids Theatre05/21 New York, NY - Pier 17 at South Street Seaport05/23 Boston, MA - House of Blues05/24 Philadelphia, PA - The Fillmore05/25 Washington, DC - The Anthem
