After a whirlwind set of performances at SXSW and a handful of dates supporting the Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines have announced their first ever U.S. headlining tour that will take place this fall with support acts, Tennis and Young Buffalo (see full itinerary below). The Vaccines will bring their highly electric, guitar- rock anthems to fans with their first show on September 8th in Seattle, WA and ending a 14 date run on October 1st in Brooklyn, NY, including a performance at Austin City Limits on September 18th in Austin. The Vaccines, who recently made their Glastonbury debut, are set to perform at Lollapalooza on August 5th in Chicago and Outside Lands on August 13th in San Francisco before their fall tour dates.

After being named Rolling Stone’s Band to Watch and Paste Magazine’s Best of What’s Next, The Vaccines have spent the summer playing in front of fans, new and old, at festivals across Europe. After their set in front of 25,000 strong at Glastonbury, NME proclaimed that The Vaccines are “confident and strident”, and raves that they “are here to stay.”

The Vaccines’ new video “Norgaard” will premiere on July 7 th on VEVO.com. The video features Amanda Norgaard, the Danish model who inspired the song. Frontman Justin Young says he wrote the song after a night out – “it’s fun. I love the melody, it’s uplifting.”
