After announcing their breakup and final shows earlier this year, Tokyo Police Club have announced that those farewell concerts in Toronto will be capping off a larger North American tour. The long-running Ontario outfit's final stint on the road will include a few additional Canadian stops — news they're sharing alongside the release of their last new music, double single "Just a Scratch" b/w "Catch Me If You Can."
UPDATE (5/14, 1:16 p.m. ET): Tokyo Police Club have added a handful of shows to their final tour, including a second night in Halifax, and newly announced stops in Pickering and Montreal. See the updated itinerary below with the new dates in bold — tickets go on sale Thursday (May 16) at 10 a.m. local, with presales tomorrow (May 15) with the code "TPC4EVER."
Kicking things off with a previously announced must-see appearance at Ottawa Bluesfest on July 4, the band will then head east to play Halifax with MONOWHALES on August 1.
In September, they'll be joined by Born Ruffians for the majority of the tour proper, beginning in Canada with a performance at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom on September 14. Tokyo Police Club will then play Alberta shows in Calgary (September 17) and Edmonton (September 18) before venturing into the US through the fall season.
As aforementioned, the tour will end with the group's final four Toronto shows at History, where they'll be joined by (a reunited) Hollerado on November 26 and 27, Good Kid on November 28 and Born Ruffians on November 29.
The crunchy "Just a Scratch" and pep-filled "Catch Me If You Can" follow the band's most recent LP, 2018's TPC. Here's what TPC had to say about them on Twitter:
tpc started in the first place because we LOVED SONGS, and we loved to hang out in the basement and make up songs together… and since then we've spent millions and millions of hours doing it. i boasted earlier, and will boast again in the future, that TPC has a no skips catalog and i am proud to add these last two entries to it. i'm imagining listening to them really loud in somebody's parents car (almost always josh's or greg's, huge shout out to them), driving from the restaurant to go jam. recorded in toronto with the man, jesse turnbull.
Listen to the new songs below, where you'll also find the full final tour itinerary. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (March 15), following a pre-sale tomorrow (March 13) with the code "TPCEVER."
