Indie rock band The Format has announced a fall tour across North America to support their new album, Boycott Heaven. This marks the band’s return after a long hiatus and is part of their ongoing “Boycott Heaven” tour. The tour will begin in September and feature special guest The Get Up Kids.
The tour started last month in Boston, and now the band is set to continue with additional dates this fall.
