BAND SET TO PERFORM AT SHAKY KNEES FESTIVAL 2022 IN ATLANTA

Genre-defying, Nashville-based quintet Rainbow Kitten Surprise have announced new North American tour dates for Spring 2022. The newly announced shows kick off at Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC on April 7th. Presale begins Tuesday, December 7th, at 10am, with the general on-sale starting Friday, December 10th at 10am (all times local). The dates coincide with the band’s performance at next year’s Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA on April 29th. Full tour itinerary listed below. For more ticket information and tour updates, please visit www.rksband.com/tour.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise recently sold-out their highly anticipated, two-night stand at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in a matter of minutes. Set for July 11-12th, both shows will feature support from fellow Tennessee artist Briston Maroney.
To close out the
year, the band will play three sold-out shows at Brooklyn
Bowl Nashville from December 26-28th –
dubbed Crimbo Limbo – followed by a special New
Year’s Eve show at The Anthem in Washington
DC, where support will also come from Maroney. Tickets for that
show are available here.
The band has a long history of sold-out dates, with their 2019 How To: Friend, Love, Freefall North American headline tour featuring 50 sold-out shows, 6 venue upgrades, 3 second nights added, and over 80,000 tickets sold. That tour was highlighted by their first headlining show at Red Rocks, which also sold out in less than a week
For all of their upcoming headline shows, Rainbow Kitten Surprise has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from each ticket sold will go to local food banks working to fight hunger and food insecurity in their communities.
Earlier this year, the band released their first ever live album, RKS! LIVE FROM ATHENS GEORGIA, harnessing all the magic of a Rainbow Kitten Surprise show as they electrify sold-out audiences with signature anthems and fan favorites. Recorded live from a two-night stand at The Georgia Theatre in Athens, GA during the band’s sold-out 2019 Friend, Love Freefall Tour, the 25-song collection also arrived as a limited-edition 3-LP vinyl.
The 2019 North American tour came in support of the band’s Elektra Records debut How To: Friend, Love, Freefall, and spanned 50 sold-out shows highlighted by 6 venue upgrades, 3 second nights added, and over 80,000 tickets sold. To date, the album itself has gathered north of 230 million streams, while the lead single “Fever Pitch” has eclipsed 40 million streams, having vaulted into the Top 10 at Triple A Radio upon release.

As if channeling another dimension where genres simply don’t exist, Rainbow Kitten Surprise find harmony in unpredictability, weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies, and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. They quietly built an audience with Seven + Mary [2013] and RKS [2015] before serving up their 2018 full-length debut for Elektra, “HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL” – produced by Grammy Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent). Igniting a two-year whirlwind, it brought the band’s total stream tally well past half-a-billion, while they garnered widespread praise from Billboard, TIME, Vice, and NPR who described their sound as “…a mix of jam and indie and whatever else you can throw into the soup…very earnest, beautiful, political, loving rock n’ roll.” Meanwhile, “Fever Pitch” marked their first Top 10 at AAA.

Not to mention, they’ve performed on “CBS This Morning Saturday,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” PBS’s “Austin City Limits,” and graced the bills of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Osheaga, to name a few. Moving 80,000 tickets, they embarked on the sold-out Friend, Love Freefall Tour earmarked by a packed night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and three consecutive gigs in Athens, GA—as chronicled on their first official live album, Live From Athens Georgia, out in 2021.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is: Sam Melo (lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar, vocals), Charlie Holt (bass, vocals), Jess Haney (drums)
