DIIV announces North American tour

DIIV ANNOUNCES IS THE IS ARE NORTH AMERICAN SPRING TOUR

LAUNCHES RESIDENCY SHOWS TODAY

IS THE IS ARE OUT NOW VIA CAPTURED TRACKS
  

On the heels of releasing their sophomore album Is the Is Are earlier this month, DIIV are back today to announce a North American spring tour with tickets going on sale Friday. The run, which will span the US and include a stop at Field Trip Fest in Toronto, will commence in May following the band's US residency shows (which kick off today in Los Angeles) and European tour in March and April. See below for all upcoming DIIV North American tour dates and what the press is saying about Is the Is Are

"Hits on a visceral, teenage level similar to that of the Cure or Smashing Pumpkins..." 
Pitchfork

"Is the Is Are, more than any album in a long time, feels like a great and immersive book..."
Under the Radar

"DIIV prove there's a lot of life left in the decades-old practice of adding way too much distortion to everything." 
- Rolling Stone

"Some of the most powerful, personal and persuasive rock songs you'll hear this year." 
NME

"...jaunty, angular riff that rivals Echo & the Bunnymen's finest."
