Hippo Campus Announce First Headlining Dates Outside Home State Of Minnesota

Hippo Campus Announce First Headlining Dates Outside Home State Of Minnesota
Will Join Real Estate & Broncho For Select Summer Dates
'Bashful Creatures' Out On Vinyl June 23 Via Grand Jury Music

The 19-20-year-olds in Hippo Campus have performed on Conan, earned the title of one of NME's Most Buzzed About Bands at SXSW, and been invited to tour with My Morning Jacket and Modest Mouse this summer, but the quartet has never headlined a show outside their home state of Minnesota. That changes this June with headlining dates in NYC, Chicago and DC, along with shows in LA with Real Estate and in Columbus with Broncho. Watch their WFUV session, featuring "Suicide Saturday," which Esquire raves "has the precise kind of ebullient catchiness characteristic of the most infectious summertime anthems" here.

Hippo Campus, releasing their EP 'Bashful Creatures' on vinyl June 23 (Grand Jury Music), are currently on tour with Walk The Moon.
