The Format to play Radio City Music Hall with The Get Up Kids & Phantom Planet

Having released their first album in nearly 20 years, Boycott Heaven , last year, The Format have been busy on the road, and they’re going on a tour with Get Up Kids this fall. There hadn’t been an NYC show on that run, but now they’ve announced a big one: it happens on October 9 at Radio City Music Hall , and they’ll perform 2006’s Dog Problems in full, along with songs from throughout their discography.

Phantom Planet is also on the bill, and tickets go on sale Wednesday, May 20 at 12 PM ET, with various presales starting Friday, May 15 at 12 PM ET. See all of The Format’s upcoming dates below.
