Longtime friends the National and the War on Drugs are teaming up for the Zen Diagram tour, which will begin Sept. 12 in Gilford, N.H., and conclude Oct. 10 in Mexico City. Both acts will also perform on a not-yet-announced date during the Sept. 19-22 Bourbon & Beyond festival in Louisville, Ky.
Lucius will open all but the final date of the trek, for which tickets begin going on sale tomorrow (Feb. 27). Both the War on Drugs and Lucius previously participated in the 2016 Grateful Dead tribute album Day of the Dead, which was produced by the National’s Aaron and Bryce Dessner.
