media release; Father John Misty and The Head and The Heart are announcing a co-headlining summer theater and amphitheater tour, with a two-night stand in Madison at The Sylvee. The tour will feature support from Miya Folick on select dates.

Father John Misty is touring in support of the acclaimed Chloë and The Next 20th Century, which earned placement on “Best Albums of 2022” lists from the likes of TIME, Variety, USA Today, The Telegraph, The Sun, WXPN, The Sun, Under the Radar, MOJO, CLASH, and Uncut, and led to performances on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel Live. TIME said of Chloë and The Next 20th Century, “He takes a surprising and delightful departure from his usual form for a project that’s grandiose in its ambition, theatrical in its presentation, and thrilling in its execution.” USA Today adds, “With honeyed vocals and a potent dose of gallows humor, the shape-shifting crooner is reborn as a Sinatra-style lounge act, weaving wistful tales of heartache and tragedy over lush orchestrations.” Variety offered this, “What it all adds up to is as gorgeously arranged an orchestral-pop record as we’ve gotten in years. And its brilliance isn’t purely stylistic.” Chloë and The Next 20th Century is out now worldwide from Sub Pop and in Europe from Bella Union.
