Animal Collective Announces First Live Shows Since 2013, Release New Single

On the tail of last week’s announcement that they would be releasing a new album on February 19, Animal Collective will hit the the road next year for a very lengthy tour in support of that new album, Painting With. The tour kicks of in Philadelphia at Union Transfer and moves down the eastern seaboard before heading out to the west coast, then taking a slight detour through Europe for a run of dates in April, and finally returning back to the States in the Spring.

Take a listen to Animal Collective’s new single, “FloriDada,” below, as well as their complete 2016 tour dates. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 11.
