Pitchfork

Panda Bear has left the confines of his Lisbon, Portugal home to bestow some sampladelic Person Pitch goodness on U.S. audiences starting tonight (June 18) in New York City. His mammoth tour covers a whopping three cities over four dates, and it ends on a date in the almost unimaginable future: June 23, back in NYC.

Irony aside, Animal Collective actually do have a ton of tour dates scheduled for this summer and fall in preparation for the forthcoming Strawberry Jam LP, due out in September via Domino. The band's first show is in London on July 11.

06-18 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom
