American indie trio Gossip is back together! The band, which split back in 2016, just announced they are embarking on a tour in the summer in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their fourth studio album Music for Men. This will be their first tour in seven years.
Gossip will begin the celebratory tour in Europe, which is a logical move, considering the fact that the album was much more successful there than in the United States. The band will begin their trip at Beuregard Festival in France on July 4th and will visit Germany, Portugal, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and United Kingdom before wrapping up the trip in Dublin, Ireland on August 18th.
“We can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the release of Music For Men! We are beyond excited to reunite with our Gossip family and fans,” – said the band in a statement. “We’ve truly missed playing these songs and connecting with our amazing and inspiring crowds. It’ll be a sweaty, outrageous time for sure. Can’t wait to see y’all in Europe in July!”
Released on June 19, 2009, Music For Men met with positive reviews from the critics, who praised the record for being “melodic” and “joyful” but criticized its production. The album cracked the top 10 in Austria, Belgium, and France, where it sold more than 280,000 copies. It failed to have a bigger success in the United States, however, selling on 42,000 copies and reaching No. 184 on US Billboard 200.
