Less Than Jake To Embark on Fat Tour This Fall

Coinciding with the release of their ninth album, one of the ska-punk scene’s biggest acts will spend the rest of 2013 on the road after releasing Less Than Jake tickets for a string of dates across North America, South America and the Far East.

The Gainesville quintet will first take to the stage on August 20 at Norfolk’s The Norva for the start of an eight-date club trek which concludes with a three-night stint at their hometown’s High Dive on Aug 30-Sept 1 before heading over to Japan, Brazil and Argentina.

On their return to the US, the band will then kick off their official ‘Fat Tour’ at Pensacola’s Vinyl Music Hall on November 4, stopping off at the likes of Pittsburgh’s Stage AE on November 13, Omaha’s Waiting Room on November 21 and Hollywood’s Fonda Theater on November 30 before wrapping up at Houston’s Scout Bar on December 6.

With a get-in price of $45 and average price of $64, fans can get their hands on Less Than Jake tickets at TicketIQ for the August 24 show at Orlando’s House of Blues alongside the performances at New York’s Highline Ballroom on November 10, the Royale Boston on November 12 and Denver’s The Summit Music Hall on November 22, all of which are currently listed at both a get-in and average price of $78.

Supported by Fat Wreck Chords label mates Anti-Flag, Masked Intruder and Get Dead, Chris Demakes and co. will no doubt be keen to showcase their upcoming first new full-length studio effort in five years, See The Light.

But fans with Less Than Jake tickets for their recent summer festival dates also got the chance to hear material spanning from their 1995 debut Pezcore (“Johnny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts”) right up to 2012’s EP collection Greetings & Salutations From Less Than Jake (“Goodbye, Mr Personality”) including their signature hits “History Of A Boring Town,” “All My Best Friends Are Metalheads” and “The Science Of Selling Yourself Short.”
