Explosions In the Sky Announce Eastern & Midwest Tour Dates

Hot on the heels of their Canadian and Pacific Northwest tour, Explosions In The Sky has announced a new slew of dates in continued support of the End, released to wide acclaim last year. The band has spent the past year touring worldwide, and these new tour dates mark their first shows in 2025.

The tour kicks off in the Carolinas and heads north to the Midwest and around the Northeast, including a layover performance at the prestigious Big Ears Festival.

Their last album, End, is arguably the grandest Explosions In The Sky album to date – melding the quiet restraint and crushing weight of their early recordings with the aural exploration and ornate experimentation of their later works all the while incorporating skills and insights gleaned from their increasingly deep film and television scoring experiences. While End was inspired by darkness, it became a loud, dramatic, wild rumination on life and death. Over nearly 25 years of being a band Explosions In The Sky have achieved remarkable critical and commercial success while making an especially non-commercial style of music – having sold nearly two million albums worldwideand scored five major motion pictures to date. They’ve become the sound of modern sports films, documentaries and television series – due largely to their genre-defining Friday Night Lights score – and have found a diverse array of major artists as fans as well, having been invited to tour with Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Flaming Lips, Death Cab for Cutie, and many others.
