All fall tour dates are on sale now, which will come after an extensive summer schedule that started with headlining shows on June 9 in Orlando, Fl., and also includes a co-headlining run with The Flaming Lips beginning Aug. 1 in Atlanta.
The band will also set sail from Feb. 5-9, 2026, on the inaugural Ice Cream Floats cruise, where they will play three distinct sets alongside a lineup featuring Portugal. The Man, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Built to Spill and many others. Fans can expect a twist on Mystery Science Theater 3000, with Modest Mouse’s members offering irreverent commentary about films of their choice, a live Q&A with topics chosen by attendees, a story time during which frontman Isaac Brock will read children’s books, DJ sets and a Parade of Freaks.
