Spencer Krug has announced that Sunset Rubdown will reunite for the first time in 13 years for a 2023 reunion tour.
What began as a solo side project for Krug quickly morphed into a quartet, and together they put out the albums 2006’s Shut Up I Am Dreaming (2006), Random Spirit Lover (2008), and Dragon Slayer (2009). Afterwords Krug moved on to Moonface before reuniting with Wolf Parade in 2016.
“I always said this would never happen because I didn’t believe it ever would,” Krug wrote in a December 6th post on social media. “Glad I was wrong. Announcing the return of Sunset Rubdown.”
The group will reunite March 24th in Montreal, Quebec, and play a total of 14 shows in the US and Canada before wrapping April 25th in Los Angeles, California. Check out the full itinerary below. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 9th with select dates available via Ticketmaster and the rest via Krug’s website.
