Japanese post-rock legends MONO celebrated their 10th year as a band with a string of two sold-out shows in New York City last spring. However, these weren’t your average shows. The band was joined by Wordless Orchestra in a performance that was 30 people strong and left everyone at the shows stunned. Luckily for those of us that weren’t blessed enough to catch this, the concert was captured on film and will be released as a CD+DVD, as well as a limited-edition 3xLP+DVD. “Holy Ground: NYC Live with the Wordless Music Orchestra” will be released on April 27th and going on this tour to support it.

And just in case getting to see a band play from Japan isn’t awesome enough, they’re being joined on tour by a band from Scotland. The Twilight Sad have been around since 2007 and have released two critically acclaimed albums in the three year period. Their latest, “Forget the Night Ahead,” showed a lot of growth over the first record and proved this band is a force to be reckoned with. The Tucson show happens on May 4th at Plush, while the Phoenix one will happen on the 5th at The Clubhouse. Tickets are available here.
