Tune-Yards Line Up North American Tour of I Love Boosters Score
The Oakland band is taking the sound of the Boots Riley film to Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, and more By Kiana Mickles September 18, 2026 Save this story Save this story
Tune-Yards composed Boots Riley’s offbeat comedy-crime film I Love Boosters, and now they’re taking it on a North American jaunt titled The Ones That Love You. Starting November 5 in Chicago, the Oakland band will make stops in Cleveland, Boston, Cincinnati, and more. The pop duo Rituals of Mine will open each date. Scroll down for the full tour schedule.
“The I Love Boosters score sounds like three different bands scoring the same film, music that we hope is as unpredictable and multilayered as Boots’ creative world,” Tune-Yards wrote in a press statement. “It’s some of the wildest and far-reaching music we’ve ever composed, because Boots pushes everyone around him to the furthest edges of their creativity.”
This spring, the band released I Love Boosters – Original Motion Picture Score , the follow-up to their composition work for Riley’s debut feature film, 2018’s Sorry to Bother You . Tune-Yards put out their sixth studio album, Better Dreaming , in 2025.
