Bright Eyes is so excited about their upcoming record that they’ve announced not one, but two tours.
Back in June, Conor Oberst and co. shared that they were headed on a brief, international fall trek — which kicks off Sept. 19 at Brooklyn Steel — in support of the group’s yet-to-be-released eleventh studio album “Five Dice, All Threes.”
Less than two months later, they’ve added an 43 additional dates that will send them to venues all over North America from January to April 2025.
On the winter and spring run, the folksy trio are slated to return to Brooklyn and headline at the recently opened Paramount Theatre on Thursday, April 17.
“We are proud of (this album) and we hope to see you soon out on the road soon,” Oberst shared on Instagram. “Things get more and more strange as time goes on it seems. But feeling extremely grateful to have the music and you.”
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming North American shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Aug. 9.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Bright Eyes new music
Prior to the release of “Five Dice, All Threes,” Bright Eyes has released a pair of singles.
First, they dropped the bouncy, jingly “Bells and Whistles,” which contrasts beautifully with Oberst’s trademark ramshackle, blistering vocals.
Then, in tandem with the tour announcement, “Rainbow Overpass” featuring Alex Orange Drink hit the airwaves. It’s garage rock at its finest. Fuzzed out guitar, angsty lyrics and fist-pumping crescendos.
Warning: you may want to listen ten times in a row. “Rainbow Overpass” is a full-on anthem.
If you want to hear for yourself, you can find both rollicking tracks here.
