Finally one of the biggest breakout acts of the past year is Young The Giant who just announced they’ll be on the Today show on May 22nd. However even more impressive is the fact that fresh off their 46-date sold-out headlining tour the bands show no sign of slowing down.
.
Young The Giant’s latest string of gig kicks off on May 19th in Atlanta, Georgia, and wraps up on September 2nd in Edmonton, Alberta, and we recommend picking up tickets soon because the New York City date isa already sold out. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
