press release: Joywave and Sir Sly have announced their fall co-headline tour, Joywave and Sir Sly Present: An Evening With Sir Sly and Joywave. Sir Sly and Joywave are no strangers to touring -- Joywave have launched several, sold-out headline tours and recently toured with Thirty Seconds to Mars on their Monolith tour, while Sir Sly won rave reviews for their set at Coachella, Bonnaroo and are headed to Lollapalooza next weekend. Daniel Armbruster of Joywave had this to say about the upcoming tour, “We spent quite a bit of time this past year on the road having some of the largest acts in music close for us. Using a “tour generator” website, we were assigned a co-headline tour with Sir Sly.” Landon Jacobs of Sir Sly retorted, "It’s been an extremely enjoyable year for us, and we were under the impression that we were the biggest band in the world. After talking to our managers, turns out we’re the exact same size as Joywave, which is pretty exciting too.”
Sir Sly’s “&Run” was a hit at alternative radio, recently hitting #1 on the alternative radio chart while Joywave recently released their first new music since last year’s Content, the song “Blastoffff” which premiered as part of the global rollout of Epic Games' highly-anticipated Season 5 of Fortnite.
