Back in November, Peach Pit and Briston Maroney announced their 2025 Long Hair, Long Life co-headline tour across North America.
Produced by Live Nation, the 25-date run kicks off on Tuesday, May 20 in Philadelphia, PA at The Met, with additional stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, Charlotte and more before wrapping up on Thursday, June 28 in Toronto, ON at Budweiser Stage.
Indie rock band Bnny will join both bands on all dates.
Peach Pit’s most recent album Magpie was released back in October month via Columbia Records, and in the first week found itself amongst the top 10 selling vinyl albums.
The LP is a masterclass in expansive arrangement and deeply felt songwriting—a winning formula that only continues the incredible trajectory the band’s been on since their star-making debut EP Sweet FA in 2016.
The 11 songs captured on Magpie find the quartet—lead singer Neil Smith, guitarist Chris Vanderkooy, bassist Peter Wilton, and drummer Mikey Pascuzzi—diving deeper into classic sounds while honing a musical style that entirely feels like their own.
Known for their legendary live show, featuring plenty of stage diving and guitar solos, Magpie captures a glimpse of that same energy.
Of the tour, Smith quips “We couldn’t be more excited for this upcoming 2025 NA tour with our good friend Briston Maroney. It’s our biggest tour ever and we’re playing some really crazy venues, places like Red Rocks in Colorado that I honestly never really thought were in the cards for us. It freaks me out that we somehow managed to go from rehearsing in Chris’ bedroom ten years ago to venues like The Greek in LA and Pier 17 in New York. 2014 Peach Pit would be tripping out right now😵💫”
Ahead of the Long Hair, Long Life tour, Peach Pit will be touring Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and The UK.

Fellow Vancouver indie rock band, Babe Corner opened up the show in London.
Here are SWOMP’s photos from their performance:
Babe Corner is bringing in a new era of Vancouver alt-rock.
They’ve kicked down the doors with a melange of sensuous guitar solos, whooping synths, airtight and soaring four-part harmonies and a message of love and panic, longing and satisfaction.
Effectively a supergroup of the city’s best nostalgia pop players (with Doohickey Cubicle’s Alli Deleo on keys, Club Sofa’s Jess Jones on drums and Haley Blais on bass) Babe Corner is led by Lindsay Sjoberg, whose melancholy voice and lyrics, reminiscent of Mitski and Angel Olson, charge the group with a melodic pop-punk personality by way of No Doubt and Liz Phair.
The band’s debut EP ‘Killer’ was released early 2020 led by single and video Cigarette, shot on location in British Columbia’s Okanagan desert.
Today, the EP has been streamed over 1M times on Spotify and with no formal PR or marketing, Babe Corner is breaking clear of the underground to become one of the Vancouver indie music scene’s most exciting secrets.
