Bleachers are back, and they’re coming to a venue near you.

Ahead of the release May 22 of their fifth studio album, everyone for ten minutes (via Big Hit), Bleachers announce a tour in support. Those live shows get underway June 5 in Chicago IL, the show then rolls into cities across the United States and Canada, and wraps up Oct. 8 in Nashville, TN. Along the way, the jaunt includes a five-night headline residency this September in Los Angeles.


Everyone for ten minutes is the followup to Bleachers’ self-titled fourth LP from March 2024, and is led by the single “you and forever” and its accompanying music video starring Margaret Qualley (The Substance, How to Make a Killing).

To celebrate this week’s tour announce, Jack Antonoff’s indie rock outfit performed “you and forever” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, doing so on a suitably low-key soundstage. The band separately shared another new track from the forthcoming LP, “dirty wedding dress.”

Everyone for ten minutes, reads a statement announcing the fresh project, is the “inevitable culmination of a lifetime of devotion to bands for the six members of Bleachers and, ultimately, finds each one at their creative peak.”

The collection is said to have “moments where it briefly peers into darkness,” but is “essentially an optimistic record that feels lovestruck and hopeful, leaping from harmony-laden folk rock to shimmering pop soul to the sax-assisted New Jersey sound that Bleachers have become synonymous for.”

The six-strong group began their recording career back in 2014 with the debut Strange Desire. Aside from Bleachers, Antonoff has carved out a glorious career with Fun and as a producer. All told, he has netted 13 Grammy Awards and collaborated extensively with the likes of Lana Del Rey, Lorde, Sia, and, of course, Taylor Swift.

Toronto’s Afrofest Gets Cancelled Following Significantly Reduced Capacity Limits at Woodbine Park

While the park allowed 17,000 attendees in previous years, festival organizers said the city’s capacity limits decreased to 5,000. This year’s edition was intended to run from Aug. 14 to 16, but organizers shared they will return in 2027 at a new event space.

The 38th edition of Afrofest has been cancelled in Toronto.

Music Africa, the organizers of the annual African music festival, announced the news on its website and social media platforms, explaining that the cancellation was due to capacity limits at its venue, Woodbine Park. This year’s edition was slated for Aug. 14 to 16.
