Indie touring notes
Boundaries announced a UK and European run for June, adding festival and club dates as spring touring revs up for indie acts (chaoszine.net). And in North America, The Format played Toronto’s HISTORY on Mar. 30 with Ben Kweller and Adult Mom behind their first new album in two decades, 'Boycott Heaven' — a notable comeback gig (liveinlimbo.com).
Boundaries announced their move to Sumerian Records and premiered the Drew Fulk–produced single “Skies Cast Amber Black” as the label debut. (theprp.com) After fan backlash over the original mix, the band issued an alternate mix of “Skies Cast Amber Black” across streaming platforms on March 27, 2026. (theprp.com) Their June UK/European run is mapped out with festival slots at Rock im Park (June 6), Rock am Ring (June 7), Download Festival (June 14) and Jera On Air (June 25), plus club shows that pair them with The Plot In You, Kublai Khan TX, Bury Tomorrow, Malevolence, Heriot and Rain City Drive on select dates. (theprp.com) The June dates follow a heavy spring touring block: Boundaries will support The Amity Affliction and August Burns Red on a North American run from April 10 to May 17, 2026, before heading to Europe. (livewiremusic.org) The Format’s Boycott Heaven was released on January 23, 2026, and the band mounted a 14-city spring tour to support the record with a rotating roster of openers. (theformat.com) Setlist archives from the March 30, 2026 Toronto History show show the band mixing new Boycott Heaven tracks like “Boycott Heaven” and “The First Single” with older staples and an on-stage cover of R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion.” (setlist.fm) Promoter and ticket pages list multiple sell-outs and waitlists on the run (Chicago, Ryman/Nashville and several West Coast dates marked sold out), underscoring strong demand for the reunion-era shows.
