Joywave 2023 Tour Announcement -US Tour Schedule
Joywave is touring in spring 2023, with the indie-rock band hitting all your favorite cities! Joined by Elliot Lee, they’ll kick off on March 30th in Towson, MD, making stops in Albany, NY, Athens, GA, Boston, MA, and more before concluding on April 25th in New York City.
These Joywave concerts began in early 2022 and visited dozens of cities across the US and Europe. Of course, they missed a few stops the first time around, which they cheekily addressed on Instagram. “One quick final lap. V sorry we left you out in 2022,” the band wrote, with the comments section expressing excitement and appreciation for these new shows. Joywave has named the recent trek the “Express Wash tour” in support of their fourth and latest album, Cleanse, and we can’t wait to see what they have planned!
The band released Cleanse in February 2022, featuring new songs like “Pray For the Reboot,” “Cyn City 2000,” “Buy American,” and more. It picks up where their third album, Possession, left off and deals with the devastation of the 2020 global pandemic while simultaneously allowing Joywave to create its best work to date. Just ask lead singer Daniel Armbruster, who didn’t hold back in a recent interview with Consequence.
“We had been on tour in Europe while the virus was spreading there, so I knew it was going to be bad,” Armbruster recalls. “I was scared, but I was also actively fighting the idea of writing new music. We had JUST released a record we had spent years making. Everything I had worried about on Possession was coming to fruition at an astonishing rate.” “No one asked me to make another record. It just happened. And unlike albums of the past, we weren’t compiling 40 demos and talking about what songs should make the cut, etc.”
“A body of work emerged that was a true snapshot of this (hopefully) once-in-a-lifetime moment,” he continued, “Reminded of my own mortality by every headline, I began to think about the things I’d want someone to know about me or what advice I’d want to leave behind if this record was the last thing I got to share with the world.” While the pandemic is mostly behind us, we did get quite a few superb quarantine albums out of it… and Cleanse is no exception. It’s a solid selection of indie rock that’s perfectly Joywave, and you can’t miss hearing these new songs live. Get your tickets now!
