Modest Mouse has revealed an extension of its busy 2025 tour schedule with a highly anticipated North American fall tour. This tour is set to feature indie rock icons Built to Spill on select dates, adding an extra layer of allure for music enthusiasts. The fall tour will commence on September 30, 2025, in Aspen, Colorado, with subsequent performances in major cities such as Denver, Nashville, Toronto, Boston, and Washington, DC. The tour will wrap up on October 21, 2025, at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York, promising a journey through various musical landscapes that fans of both bands have come to love.

Notably, this announcement follows Modest Mouse's previous announcement of its summer itinerary, which includes a co-headlining segment with The Flaming Lips starting on August 1, 2025. This extensive tour schedule reflects the band's enduring appeal and capacity to draw in large crowds across several states and countries. Key highlights of the upcoming tour include the closure of their summer dates at the Psychic Salamander Festival in Carnation, Washington, which is set to feature musical performances alongside legends like Flaming Lips and Sleater-Kinney.

A special aspect of the tour is its connection with festivals and unique events that enhance the live music experience. Built to Spill will also participate in Modest Mouse's inaugural Psychic Salamander Festival and the Ice Cream Floats cruise scheduled for February the following year. The cruise offers fans an opportunity to enjoy live music at sea, further illustrating the creative and experiential direction Modest Mouse is taking with its music.

The ticketing process for the fall tour opens widely to the public on May 30, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time, accessible through platforms like Ticketmaster. Fans looking to secure their spots early can take advantage of pre-sales starting with an artist pre-sale on May 28, 2025, and a Live Nation pre-sale on May 29, 2025. This arrangement caters to the high demand expected for this tour, seeing the intersection of nostalgia and fresh sounds in the indie music circuit.

The collaboration between Modest Mouse and Built to Spill on this tour is a reunion of sorts, as both bands have previously contributed significantly to the indie rock scene. Their combined presence promises to deliver a nostalgic yet contemporary experience for audience members. Each performance will showcase individual and collaborative strengths, likely unveiling new interpretations of their classic hits along with fresh material that continues to push the boundaries of indie rock.

Furthermore, the tour's strategic structuring around key cities ensures a broad reach, enabling fans from various locations to partake in the performances. The involvement of multiple partners and supporting acts such as Friko and Dehd on different legs of the tour adds to its dynamic nature, catering to diverse musical tastes and expanding audience engagement.

Given the detailed planning and diverse concert stops, the fall tour is poised to become a memorable segment in Modest Mouse's extensive touring history. The addition of Built to Spill not only enhances the musical narrative but also merges fan bases, fostering an environment of shared experiences and collective appreciation for indie rock's rich history and evolving spirit. As the anticipation builds, Modest Mouse once again demonstrates its unwavering dedication to live music and its ability to resonate with audiences old and new.

In summary, Modest Mouse's fall tour with Built to Spill is a testament to the band's enduring influence in the music world. It highlights a strategic blend of nostalgic appeal with contemporary innovation, promising a live music experience that is both reflective and forward-thinking. With a meticulously planned itinerary and collaborations, the tour promises to be a significant cultural event for fans and a highlight of the 2025 music calendar.
