Ratboys have been itching to return to the road, occupying their time with a virtual tour series on Twitch, raising money for The Equal Justice Initiative and Girls Rock Chicago with a 24-hour telethon and releasing a reimagined version of their 2011 RATBOY EP entitled Happy Birthday, Ratboy for its ten year anniversary. Today, the band announces their return to the road with a North American tour supported by Wild Pink.
Ratboy will perform a few dates in August solo before embarking on the official tour with Wild Pink starting Sept. 12 in Pittsburgh, PA and finishing up Oct. 6 in Spring Green, WI. The band will also do select festival dates including Riot Fest in the band’s hometown of Chicago, and The FEST in Gainesville, FL. The band will also be accompanying Julien Baker on her UK/EU tour in the spring of 2022.
