‘Live in Colorado’
marks yet another return to Red Rocks for the band, following their most
recent sold-out, two-night stand in July of 2022.
Fans can look forward to this summer’s exclusive VIP ticket offering,
which will include one general admission or premium reserved ticket within the
first 10 rows of the venue and early entry, as well as merch items including
embroidered bag tags, limited edition Red Rocks lenticular posters, holographic
fanny packs, commemorative ‘Live in Colorado’ VIP laminates, and more.
Additionally, Rainbow Kitten Surprise has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to local food banks working to fight hunger and food insecurity in their communities. Presales begin tomorrow, Wednesday, January 18th at 10am local time and general onsale will begin this Friday, January 20th at 10am local time.
Today’s announcement follows the band’s 2022 entirely sold-out North American headline tour, which included back-to-back sold-out nights at The Caverns in Pelham, TN, their triumphant two-night return to Red Rocks, which sold-out in a matter of minutes of being announced, and a December US routing that included stops in Nashville, Chicago, and New Orleans, culminating with this year’s beloved RKS New Year’s Eve residency at The Eastern in Atlanta, GA.
This spring, the
band will traverse South Africa and the UK/EU for
a highly-anticipated run of international tour dates – with the latter set of
shows having been upgraded to larger venues in order to accommodate
ever-increasing demand. Kicking off on March 10th in Cape
Town, Africa, the band will perform in cities including Paris (March
15th), Berlin (March
23rd), Amsterdam (March
25th), and London (March
31st), before the tour
wraps on April 4th after
two consecutive nights in Dublin, Ireland. The entirety
of this international run is nearly sold-out.
Always a festival
favorite, Rainbow Kitten Surprise will appear at Bonnaroo and Hangout
Music Festival this summer, in addition to headlining Charleston,
South Carolina’s High Water Festival alongside Beck and Wilco in
April. Last year, the band topped lineups at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees
Festival, Napa, CA’s Bottle Rock Festival, and Rothbury,
MI’s Electric Forest.
2022 saw the band achieve RIAA-gold certification on standout single “It’s Called: Freefall,” as well as release the emotionally charged track “Work Out,” marking their first new music in nearly two years. The song’s beautiful melody-line and effervescent vibe stands in stark juxtaposition to its poignant lyrics about the difficult relationships – of all sorts – that people struggle with. “Work Out” arrived alongside a lyric video, handwritten by RKS frontperson Ela Melo. The stunning official visual was directed by Joey Brodnax and released last June.
Also in 2022,
Rainbow Kitten Surprise raised over $170k for food banks in
local tour markets, LGBTQ+ causes, and mental health initiatives.
After gracing the bills of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza,
and Osheaga, to name a few, RKS moved 80,000 tickets of their own
on their 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, released in 2021. Most recently, two
longtime fan-favorite tracks began to take off organically on TikTok, with “It’s
Called: Freefall” and “Cocaine Jesus” experiencing massive upticks
after user-created content on the platform went viral – amassing 180k+
total videos utilizing the sound and resulting in
over 11 million *weekly* streams for the band. The songs now
boast over 226 and 116 million streams,
respectively.
