Cage The Elephant’s highly anticipated North American Neon Pill Tour continues to sell-out dates across the country including the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, and many more. A true testament to the GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum and gold-selling 6-piece, close to entering their 3rd decade together as a band, they remain one of the nation’s most loved live acts. Following the band’s sensational Bonnaroo Festival performance this past weekend, where The Tennessean hailed their set as a “rousing, gritty rock 'n' roll performance” in Manchester, TN, Cage The Elephant added a date in the band’s current hometown of Nashville on Sunday, September 1 at Ascend Amphitheater.
The 48-date North American tour, produced by Live Nation, kicks off this week on Thursday, June 20 in Salt Lake City with stops in Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City, and many more, with support from Young The Giant and Bakar on most dates. Willow Avalon, Girl Tones and Vlad Holiday will also join on select dates.
TICKETS: Tickets for the newly added Nashville date will be available starting with Citi and artist presales beginning today at 10am CT. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Thursday, June 20 at 10am CT at cagetheelephant.com/tour. Remaining tickets for other tour stops can be purchased now at cagetheelephant.com/tour.
The Neon Pill Tour supports Cage The Elephant’s 6th studio album, Neon Pill, which released May 17, 2024, via RCA Records. Neon Pill finds the Kentucky-bred six piece—brothers Matthew Shultz [vocals] and Brad Shultz [guitar], Daniel Tichenor [bass], Jared Champion [drums], Nick Bockrath [lead guitar], and Matthan Minster [guitar, keys, backing vocals]— forging new musical ground, while maintaining their uncompromising creativity and wildly cathartic performances.
‘Neon Pill’ is available on all formats HERE.
From their humble beginnings in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Cage The Elephant have gone on to become one of the generation’s premier rock bands. They have earned dozens of Gold, Platinum, and Multiplatinum certifications, tallied over 5 billion streams, and notched ten #1 records on Alternative Radio and 5 #1 records on Triple A Radio. Their previous two albums Tell Me I’m Pretty [2015] and Social Cues [2019] garnered consecutive Best Rock Album GRAMMY® Awards. They are maybe most celebrated for their live show. The stage is their home turf, where they are most comfortable, and their performances, ecstatic and unchained, as well as cathartic and soul bearing are what Neon Pill achieves in documenting.
Neon Pill, produced by John Hill, materialized during sessions at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Electric Lady in New York, Sound Emporium in Nashville, Echo Mountain in North Carolina, and at Hill’s own studio in Los Angeles, and alchemized a season of tragedy and turbulence into the twelve tracks on their sixth full-length album. Nine months into the pandemic, Matthew and Brad lost their father. The band weathered the back-to-back deaths of friends, while Matthew experience depression and a mental breakdown, culminating in hospitalization. Coming out on the other side, he learned quite a bit about himself, and gained a whole lot of strength and wisdom. Neon Pill came to life in the eye of the storm.

About Cage The Elephant
Since forming in 2006, Cage The Elephant have quietly bloomed as one of this generation’s premier rock bands buoyed by uncompromising creativity and wildly cathartic performances. Thus far, they have earned dozens of Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum certifications, tallied 5 billion streams and counting, and notched eleven #1 records on Alternative Radio and 5 #1 records on Triple A Radio. The guys consecutively garnered two GRAMMY® Awards in the category of “Best Rock Album” for both Tell Me I’m Pretty [2015] and Social Cues [2019]. Of the latter, Entertainment Weekly raved, “The album’s introspection paired with its urgent energy make Cage The Elephant sound more passionate than ever.” In the meantime, their music has also surged through popular culture as “Cigarette Daydreams” graced the soundtrack of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2blockbuster video game, “Goodbye” appeared in The Summer I Turned Pretty, and “Trouble” powered a global campaign for Amazon Prime. Plus, they’re the rare force of nature who can inspire millions of TikTok creates or hold their own on stage with Dave Grohl and duet with Iggy Pop and Beck. The Kentucky-bred six-piece instinctually lean on their enduring bond as both musicians and friends to get through anything and everything. Together, the band members make sense of life’s unpredictability and uncertainty via music. Moments of elation might take the form of sticky hooks, swaggering rhythms, or upbeat guitars, while tense riffs and jittery grooves could give shape to feelings of anxiety, doubt, or instability. As such, the group fearlessly alchemize a season of tragedy and turbulence into the twelve tracks on their sixth full-length album, Neon Pill [RCA Records].
