District 97 Announces Upcoming European And U.S. Tour Dates

Chicago-based act District 97 has confirmed additional details and dates for a second European tour, which will start in the U.K. in late March, as well as a series of new East Coast and Midwest U.S. dates, including several shows with labelmates Tiles.

District 97 has recently undergone a lineup change with Andrew Lawrence and Tim Seisser joining on keyboards and bass, respectively. The new lineup will perform a first ever show in Chicago on February 26th. Singer Leslie Hunt has recently voiced the mood in the band:

"I am grateful for the opportunity to tour with this fantastic new lineup and energized to perform this music with them. It's exciting to return to some of the same venues we have played at before and I'm very much looking forward to checking out some new places as well. Having my baby boy with us should definitely keep things interesting!"

Drummer Jonathan Schang, recently nominated in the Prog Category of the 2016 Modern Drummer Readers Poll, added: "I can't wait to bring D97 to Europe for the first time in three years! The new lineup is gelling really well and it will be a thrill to debut it in front of our fans, old and new. I'm very excited to bring the material from In Vaults and our previous albums alive in all of these great cities and venues. As a bonus, we'll be joined by some incredible artists like Dave Kerzner, IQ, Three Friends, and more."
