Article Contributed by SRO | Published on Monday, July 27, 2015

Acclaimed instrumental electronic rock band STS9--hailed as "a musical force to be reckoned with" by Wesley Hodges of Jambands.com (11/6/14)--has announced the details for their upcoming 21-date headlining tour. Fan club tickets go on sale this Wednesday, July 29 with promoter pre-sales starting Thursday, July 30 and the general on-sale launching Friday, July 31--all beginning at 10am local time. Go to www.sts9.com for more information and ticket links.

The fall outing kicks off October 22 at First Avenue in Minneapolis and takes the band to Madison, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh before stopping in the Washington, DC-area for a Halloween show at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD. STS9 will then return to Suwannee Hulaween in Live Oak, FL November 1 for a special festival appearance before their headlining run continues November 5 in New York City at the Best Buy Theater, followed by Boston, Philadelphia, Richmond, Charlotte, Raleigh, Knoxville, Nashville, Columbia, Birmingham, New Orleans, Austin and Dallas, where it'll wrap November 21 at the House of Blues. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates.

Prior to the newly announced dates, STS9--Hunter Brown (guitar/sequences), Jeffree Lerner (percussion), David Phipps (keyboards/synths), Zach Velmer (drums) and Alana Rocklin (bass)--will return to the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on Friday, September 11 and Saturday, September 12 for their 13th consecutive year, and 17th time overall, headlining the famed venue. To kick off that weekend, which last year was described by Taylor Harmeyer from Festival Footprints as "the best music STS9 has played in arguably the last decade" (9/11/14) and by Greg Valley from City2Snow as "spiritually, mentally, and physically invigorating" (9/10/14), the band will perform a special sold-out fan club show on Thursday, September 10 at the intimate Boulder Theater.

STS9 is currently touring with their largest production rig of their career, using the latest cutting-edge sound and lighting to deliver one of the most audibly and visually stunning shows in North America today.Of their headlining shows last fall, Thomas Scaggs from Maine Music News noted, "STS9's varied lighting design fits phenomenally with their music," called their lighting "unique and awe-inspiring" and said "no other group on the planet can so effortlessly produce such amazing music." He also added, "In a world where so many buttons are pressed at concerts, it's inspiring to see and listen to five musicians creating music in real-time that is on the very cusp of what it means to jam in the 21st century" (10/19/14).  A staple on the festival circuit, STS9-who have already performed this year at Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, BUKU, Pemberton, All Good, and Summer Camp, among others-still have a handful of other festival appearances to come in 2015 including Treasure Island Music Festival, Phases of the Moon and Dominican Holidaze.
