Modest Mouse and Brand New joint tour heading to Chastain Park Amphitheatre

BY MELISSA RUGGIERI

Modest Mouse returns to Atlanta this summer with Brand New in tow.

The bands will perform at 7 p.m. July 10 at Chastain Park Amphitheatre.

As Modest Mouse announced on Twitter, “2 bands, full sets, no opener.” The tour will flip-flop the bands each night; at the Atlanta date, Brand New is slated to close the show.

Tickets are $35.99-$55.99 and go on sale to the general public at noon Jan. 29 via www.livenation.com or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

For those with patience, a pre-sale has started here .

Note: This is a non-table setup show, so no coolers or carry-ins allowed.

Modest Mouse has been a regular presence in Atlanta. In October, they played Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Alpharetta and the year prior at the Shaky Knees Music Festival.

The band’s sixth album, “Strangers to Ourselves,” arrived in March 2015.

Brand New released its "Leaked Demos 2006" at the end of last year and has now made the songs available on a "pay what you want" site .
