What once was routine now seems radical: Dinosaur Jr. are releasing a new album next month, and they’re promoting it with a tour of North American music clubs. A year ago this week, the vast majority of live music events were rapidly cancelled as the burgeoning coronavirus pandemic made large gatherings of people unsafe. Some artists such as the 1975 and Thom Yorke have already written off touring for the rest of 2021, but with the COVID-19 vaccine rollout picking up speed in the United States, promoters are busily making plans for later this year. Just this week we saw the lineup for Las Vegas festival Life Is Beautiful in September. Now we learn that Dinosaur will hit the road that same month, and that they’re holding their rock camp even earlier in the summer.
