Minus the Bear will continue to celebrate 20 years of their classic sophomore album, Menos El Oso (which we placed at #2 on our list of Minus the Bear albums ranked), on tour this year. They’ve announced new September US shows on the East Coast and in the Midwest with Keep, and have a few dates supporting Jimmy Eat World too. David Knudson says, “We had way too much fun playing Menos el Oso on the Fall run last year so we’re gonna do it again! This time we’re hitting some of our favorite towns that we couldn’t squeeze into the last itinerary plus we just couldn’t pass up a chance to play with Jimmy on their Bleed American tour. See you in September!” See all dates below.
There’s no NYC show this time, but the tour includes a New Haven, CT date at College Street Music Hall on September 15. Tickets to that and all dates go on sale Friday, March 20 at 10 AM local.
Pick up our exclusive “coke bottle green” vinyl variant of the 20th anniversary edition of Menos el Oso in the BV shop, and stream one of their 2025 Irving Plaza shows on Veeps.
