Veteran Illinois shoegaze band Hum<\/a> have announced a 2027 tour, their first proper run since 2015. The U.S. treck kicks off in Atlanta in March, stopping in Austin, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Seattle, and more before concluding in San Francisco in July. All dates will feature support from Kansas City\u2019s the Life and Times<\/a>, while Chicago post-metal band Pelican<\/a> and Brooklyn trio Spotlights will open on East and West Coast dates, respectively. Check out a full itinerary below.<\/p>\n The shows build upon Hum\u2019s well-received headlining sets<\/a> earlier this year at traveling shoegaze festival Slide Away, where they shared top billing with Chapterhouse and Nothing. Those dates were Hum\u2019s first shows in nearly seven years, a hiatus that also encompassed the death of original drummer Bryan St. Pere in 2021. The Shiners\u2019 Jason Gerken, who joined the group on drums during their 2015 tour and at Slide Away, will return to the kit for the forthcoming dates.<\/p>\n Hum\u2019s Slide Away sets marked the first time the band performed songs from their 2020 album Inlet<\/em><\/a> live. Prior to that release, they hadn\u2019t shared a record since 1997\u2019s Downward Is Heavenward<\/em>, which followed their 1995 debut You\u2019d Prefer An Astronaut<\/em>.<\/p>\n
