MATT & KIM ROCK LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON,
ANNOUNCE US TOUR WITH BLINK-182 AND MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, AND FESTIVAL DATES

Matt & Kim follow up an explosive performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with news of their upcoming Honda Civic Tour dates with blink-182 and My Chemical Romance. Matt & Kim’s tour officially kicks off September 7th in the Twin Cities, but leading up to that fall launch, you’ll find the non-stop Brooklyn duo on festival stages throughout August.

Matt & Kim will take their exuberant live show out next month when they appear at the Music To Know Festival in East Hampton on August 13th. From there they will head to LA for the Sunset Strip Music Festival, then back east for the Silopanna Music Festival in Annapolis. Their September and October dates with blink-182/MCR take the band from coast to coast and wrap with what is sure to be a memorable show at the Hollywood Bowl. Matt & Kim will put an exclamation point on their festival dates with a mid-October set at DeLuna Fest in Pensacola.

On Tuesday, Matt & Kim played their new single “Block After Block,” from their latest LP Sidewalks, on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. After the inspirational performance, which included a stage full of excited fans, Fallon himself was moved to give the duo big hugs and exclaim, "That's the way you do it right there!"
