The tour will kick off September 10 at the Bellwether in Los Angeles and includes dates in Brooklyn (Brooklyn Steel), Toronto (The Concert Hall), Washington, DC (Lincoln Theatre), and Philadelphia (Union Transfer). All dates are listed below. Artist presale is this Wednesday, July 16 at 10am local time; local presale is this Wednesday, July 16 at 12pm local time; and general on-sale is this Friday, July 18 at 10am local time.    The band shares, “Atlas was a pretty big record for us, and chances are if you’re reading this, it’s a pretty big record for you too. Nobody ever said, ‘I love Real Estate, but I hate their third LP, Atlas.’ And if they did say that, they never said it anywhere around us - and we read everything you guys write on the internet; some of it can get pretty weird. And so, on this momentous occasion, we will be bringing A CELEBRATION OF ATLAS to a city near you, to honor its 11 year and 7 month anniversary. We’ll be playing almost the entire album in its entirety (basically) and other lesser known tunes from the Atlas era. We’ll also be playing a selection of our greatest hits, because we know you love those too. Please come and celebrate with us - we can’t wait to see you.”
