Michael Angelakos of Passion Pit
It's almost been a full year since Passion Pit's "Gossamer" was released (July 24 marks its one-year anniversary, if you're planning a party), and the indie-pop group will complete a sweeping North American tour this fall in support of the sophomore album. The Joy Formadible will serve as support for most of newly unveiled dates.
The tour will include two shows in September at New York's Pier 26, with discounted tickets available to fans who couldn't make it to Passion Pit's Madison Square Garden show last February due to a blizzard that evening. Proceeds for the special tickets will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
