Iconic and influential Irish band The Frames will be celebrating their 30th anniversary by playing their first U.S. tour dates in 10 years. The tour will include a stop in Dublin on June 20 before individual stops in New York and Chicago in September, as well as an appearance at the Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, later that month.

The Frames have released seven studio albums, most recently 2015’s Longitude, which featured, amongst other hit tracks, “Fitzcarraldo.”
