The Linda Lindas map a 35-date fall tour behind major-label debut 'Gotta Get Out'

The Linda Lindas have a fall to fill, and now there's a map for it. The Los Angeles quartet announced a 35-date North American headlining tour on July 13, built around Gotta Get Out, their third album, out August 28 on Reprise/Warner. The run opens September 16 at Ace of Spades in Sacramento and closes November 5 at La Rosa in Tucson.

It is the band's first album for a major label. They came up on Epitaph, the punk institution that signed them in 2021 after their "Racist, Sexist Boy" set at the Los Angeles Public Library went viral, and released Growing Up in 2022. The jump to Reprise happened earlier this year, and by the band's account they kept the rights to their master recordings, which is not the deal a young punk band usually gets from a Warner imprint.

The record

Gotta Get Out runs 14 tracks, produced by Carlos de la Garza, who has worked the board for the Linda Lindas since the start. The band describes it as an album about "the feeling of being trapped in a place or situation and wanting to break free." That is a fair read of what growing up in public does to four musicians who were still kids when the world found them.

They have shown some of it already. "Burning Out," the first single under the new deal, arrived June 7 with a video by Nathan Castiel. "Closer" followed with Paramore's Hayley Williams singing on it, a guest spot that plays like one generation of loud-guitar women handing something to the next. What the previews keep is the thing that made the Linda Lindas worth watching to begin with: fast buzzsaw guitars, vocals traded between the four members, and hooks that hit before a song has finished making its case.

The tour

The opening act changes night to night. Bleachers, Grace Bowers, Vial, The Rat Utopia Experiment, Deux Visages, and Adan Diaz each take a stretch of dates. Between Sacramento and Tucson the band stops in Berkeley, Denver, Chicago, Brooklyn, Toronto, Atlanta, and Austin before working back through Texas and the Southwest.

Presales began July 14 at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale is Friday, July 17 at 10 a.m. local through Ticketmaster.

That is nine of the 35 stops. The full routing threads the Pacific Northwest, the Rockies, the Midwest, the Northeast, Florida, and Texas before the Tucson finish.
