It’s no secret that in today’s musical climate, touring is where the money is at. This may explain why The Walkmen, whose most recent record, You & Me, came out late last summer, have decided to tour this summer with Cass McCombs, whose most recent record, Catacombs, comes out this summer, and play the SummerStage in Central Park with Dinosaur Jr, whose most recent album, Farm, comes out tomorrow, two days after the official start of this summer, in August, which is right smack dab in the middle of this summer. To be honest, You & Me didn’t really hit us until early fall, so maybe this actually makes sense since that album was clearly made for more summery type circumstances. Full tour dates after the jump.
