Dirty Projectors’ David Longstreth has announced a 2027 solo tour, with shows across the US and Europe in spring and summer. The band — currently a trio with Grizzly Bear drummer Chris Bear and upright bassist Karl McComas-Reichl — have also shared a new song, “Jumbotron.”
After an appearance at Knoxville’s Big Ears Festival on April 2nd, Longstreth’s solo Dirty Projectors run formally begins on April 15th in Minneapolis. He’ll continue on with shows at intimate venues in Chicago, Philadelphia, New Haven, Boston, Kingston (NY), New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Point Reyes (CA), and Portland. The US leg concludes on May 21st in Seattle, after which Longstreth will head to Europe for a run of dates in June. See Dirty Projectors’ full list of tour dates below.
Tickets for Dirty Projectors’ 2027 solo tour are available now via an artist pre-sale; fans can use the pre-sale password “PIANO” to gain access. Tickets go on sale for the general public on Thursday, November 12th at 10:00 a.m. local time via the band’s official website. Chicago tickets go on sale Friday, November 13th, and Boston tickets follow on Tuesday, December 1st.
“Jumbotron” serves as Dirty Projectors’ second new song since 2025’s Song of the Earth, the first being the one-off single “One Hundred-Twenty Dollar Song.” Led by Longstreth’s piano and featuring woodwinds, brushed drums, and an unhurried tempo, it’s a jazz-forward offering from the trio. The track gets much moodier in the second half, with Bear dialing up the energy from behind the kit; it concludes with a series of full band hits, marking the only time in the song that every instrument is aligned. Listen to “Jumbotron” below.
