Yard Act are one of the most exciting new bands to emerge from the UK as of late, and now, they’re bringing the fun stateside: The post-punks have today added a batch of US dates to their lengthy tour schedule for 2022. Additionally, Yard Act have shared the music video for “100% Endurance,” a cut from their recent debut album The Overload.
After wrapping up legs of their tour in Europe, Yard Act will finally hit the US this October, beginning with a show in Seattle on the 6th. Over the following ten days, they’ll also hit San Francisco, Los Angeles, D.C., and New York before wrapping up the leg in Philadelphia on October 16th. They’ll then return home to the UK for another run before their epic finale at London’s O2 Kentish Town Forum.
A black-and-white dose of surrealism, the “100% Endurance” video stars revered English actor David Thewlis (yes, Professor Lupin from Harry Potter) as he wanders around his hometown Blackpool. As longtime fans of each other, both Thewlis and Yard Act frontman James Smith gushed about the shoot in a press release: “I’ve told my agent I’m only doing Yard Act videos from now on, though next time on a tropical island or a big yacht,” Thewlis said, while Smith adds the actor was “an absolute joy to watch work.”
Tickets for the US leg of Yard Act’s 2022 tour are on sale now over at Ticketmaster. Check out their full schedule, and watch the music video for “100% Endurance,” below.
Yard Act shared The Overload back in January. To promote the release, they performed a thrilling rendition of the title track during their March appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
