The prolific indie quartet hits the road on their Somersault Slide 360 Tour!
Formed in 2015, Brooklyn-based indie quartet Big Thief released their debut album Masterpiece to much critical acclaim just a year later. The band had a mammoth 2019, they released two full-length albums AND grabbed their first Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album! Their 2022 album Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You cemented them as icons of modern indie. Catch them on their The Somersault Slide 360 Tour in 2025!
Adept at sonically exploring light and shade, as well as a vast dynamic range, Big Thief careens from soft minimalistic ballad to grungy anthem, keeping the crowd rapt all the while. Unpredictable and possessing a high level of musicality, they take audiences on a journey through love, heartbreak and back again, counteracting the intensity with light hearted in-between-song banter that only endears them further.
