Amyl and the Sniffers just rolled out a 26-date USA + CAN spring tour and the poster has festival fans talking — mostly because the punk powerhouse doesn’t show up on the usual Lollapalooza radar.
The band’s promo art lists a straight-shot North American run with a few eye-catching stops: Toronto (June 4), Montreal (June 5), Philadelphia (June 8), Boston (June 9), Washington, D.C. (June 10 at The Anthem), St. Louis (June 12 at The Factory), Manchester, TN (June 13 at Bonnaroo), Chicago (June 14 at The Salt Shed Fairgrounds), Omaha (June 16), Red Rocks in Morrison, CO (June 17), and Minneapolis (June 20), among others.
Fans’ reaction was a mixed bag: some were flat-out bummed to not see them on the Lollapalooza lineup, others pointed out the Cherry-Pick of a Chicago date and figured the group’s just prioritizing their own run — with a few hopeful that Riot Fest or other fall fests might scoop them up instead.
Bottom line: if you were banking on catching the band at Grant Park, you’ll want to pivot — there are plenty of room for festival additions later in the year, but for now the quickest way to see them stateside looks like their headline dates.
We’ll keep an eye on festival schedule updates and any official changes, but for now the tour poster says what it says: a busy North American run with some top-tier stops — Red Rocks and a Chicago date included.
