Future Islands at ACL Live At Moody Theater

Future Islands

Up until 2014, Future Islands were an acclaimed, but lesser known synth-pop band from Baltimore, but that all changed with their appearance on David Letterman's Late Show. Not only was lead singer Samuel Herring's dancing the stuff that memes' dreams are made of, but the song they played, 'Seasons (Waiting on You)', was obviously something special. Later named by Pitchfork as the best track of the year, 'Seasons' proved to be the band's breakthrough, and they now stand as one of the indie world's most respected groups.

Two Door Cinema Club at Moody Amphitheater

Two Door Cinema Club

One of British music's bright young things, Two Door Cinema Club's brand of melodic indie pop has proven popular with critics and the public alike. Formed in 2007, and composed by members Alex Trimble, Sam Halliday and Kevin Baird, the band have released a collection of albums. Following the release of 2022's album 'Keep Smiling', and the recently released new single, the Irish trio are returning to the road with support from Joywave and Daywave on selected dates.
