Punky Toronto up-and-comers PUP have toured North America as openers a couple of times, but following the recent international release of their excellent self-titled debut album, they've now announced a full-blown headlining jaunt.
Following a Riot Fest appearance in Toronto in September, the so-called "Everything Gets Worse" tour will begin a month later in October. They will remain on the road for a month and a day, playing a generous selection of U.S. gigs and making Canadian stops in Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. See the schedule below.
Frontman Stefan Babcock said in a statement, "This is our first proper North American headline tour, it's our first time playing Riot Fest. Needless to say, we're really excited. We've had an amazing year of nonstop touring and doing our own tour is something we've been waiting for a long time."
