It Sure Looks Like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs Will Play Some Shows This Year
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs appear to be gearing up for a live return in 2025. On Tuesday, March 11, the indie rock greats shared a poster on social media with a list of eight cities: Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Manchester, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, and San Francisco. The post was captioned 'Wait…' — a likely reference to their classic 'Maps' — and the band encouraged fans to sign up for updates. More from Rolling Stone Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs Contribute Unreleased Tracks to LA Wildfire Benefit Compilation Franz Ferdinand Deliver a Snazzy Return to Form With 'The Human Fear' Karen O and Danger Mouse Release Indie Lullaby 'Super Breath' Currently, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' website offers RSVP options for the eight cities, as well as one for folks whose hometowns don't appear on the list. If this is indeed a teaser for a tour — and it's hard to imagine it being anything else, but never say never — no other details have been revealed at the moment, such as dates or venues. It's been nearly two years since the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' last tour, with the band spending much of 2023 on the road in support of their 2022 album, Cool It Down. That record marked their first full-length album since 2013's Mosquito, with the trio pursuing solo albums and other projects in the intervening years. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs returned to the stage in 2017, playing a handful of shows, including some in support of the 15th anniversary of their breakthrough debut, Fever to Tell. They spent the next two years playing scattered festivals and one-offs before their official return with Cool It Down. While the Yeah Yeah Yeahs haven't announced, or even teased, any new music, they did recently contribute an unreleased track, 'Turn Into Redux,' to Los Angeles Rising, a charity album benefiting Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts.
