Andy Frasco & The U.N. will hit the road in early 2025 for the Try Not To Die Tour, a run of 20+ headlining shows featuring support on select dates from Mihali, Melt, Kris Lager, and Hayley Jane Band. The tour takes its name from Frasco’s forthcoming single, “Try Not To Die”, due to arrive on streaming platforms in early 2025.
After opening the year with a run of dates supporting JJ Grey & Mofro, the at-once chaotic and charismatic Frasco and his band of swashbuckling rockers will head to Colorado for a newly announced show in Aspen (2/5) and previously announced gigs in Almont (2/6) and Denver (2/7, co-headlining Mission Ballroom with The Main Squeeze). The Try Not To Die tour will get going in earnest following Jam Cruise (2/14–2/19) with eight shows in the eastern U.S. featuring support from Twiddle vet Mihali in late February and early March.
Following an “evening with” show in Stowe, VT on March 2nd, NYC indie-soul upstarts Melt will join Andy Frasco & The U.N. as support for shows in Toronto, ON (3/5), Columbus, OH (3/6), Pittsburgh, PA (3/7), Cleveland, OH (3/8), and Ferndale, MI (3/9). Blues-rocker Kris Lager will handle opening duties for a run of mid-March shows in the Midwest and beyond before Hayley Jane Band takes over as the supporting act for the tour’s final four dates in Louisville, KY (3/19), Indianapolis, IN (3/20), Chicago, IL (3/21), and Madison, WI (3/22), respectively.
Other highlights of Andy Frasco & The U.N.’s 2025 tour schedule so far include recently announced slots at a number of spring and summer festivals like Atlanta, GA’s SweetWater 420 Fest, Goose’s Viva El Gonzo destination festival in Mexico, Martinsville, VA’s Rooster Walk 15, The Caverns‘ CaveJam in Pelham, TN, and Swanzey, NH’s Northlands Music & Arts Festival.
