After wrapping up their recent massive tour, the Beths are itching to get back on the road; the indie-rock band just announced plans to headline the United States this summer. Check out the complete list of stops below.<\/p>\n

The Beths previously shared 2026 performance dates in Japan and New Zealand. Once those legs finish, the group will fly across the globe to bring Straight Line Was a Lie<\/em>, their 2025 album, back to the States for a few festival sets and headlining concerts. That stretch begins on June 5 at New York\u2019s Governors Ball and is set to conclude on June 20 at Massachusetts\u2019 Green River Festival.<\/p>\n

Straight Line Was a Lie<\/em> is the Beths\u2019 fourth album. They wrote the follow-up to 2022\u2019s Expert in a Dying Field<\/em> to work through the illusion of linear progression and figure out how, according to singer Elizabeth Stokes, life is about finding meaning in that regular maintenance.<\/p>\n
