Hold Steady, Drive-By Truckers Map Co-Headlining Tour

Who? America’s booze-swilling barkers the Hold Steady and Southern-rock savants Drive-By Truckers.

What? A month-long, 23-date North American tour rolling out Oct. 30 in Louisville, KY. The two bands will then make their way up the East coast, including a two-date stand in New York City Nov. 6-7, before making stops in select Midwestern cities. After hitting Seattle with a pair of gigs Nov. 20-21, the Hold Steady — supporting their latest set Stay Positive — will roll down the West coast with the Truckers before concluding in Los Angeles Nov. 25.

Should I Go? Absolutely. The Hold Steady and the Drive-By Truckers have long wished to tour together, with the former’s frontman Craig Finn claiming in a statement that the Truckers were “instrumental to me wanting to start a band and play music again” — and hopefully the rapport translates to live collaborations on stage. And remember, both are venerable performers in their own right; For further credence, check out our video of the Hold Steady at JellyNYC’s Pool Parties in Brooklyn, NY here.
