Following the announcement of their headline US tour last week, Hurray for the Riff Raff has just added a handful of additional performances for 2025. Extending their run of shows from spring and summer into fall, newly added stops include an appearance at Newport Folk Festival, dates with The Head and the Heart, and a special night in their new home city of Chicago, at Old Town School of Folk Music. See the schedule for their expanded tour, which continues tonight with Bright Eyes, in the same venue where Hurray for the Riff Raff recently filmed their debut episode of Austin City Limits, below.

This update follows last week’s release of "Pyramid Scheme," a song that encapsulates bandleader Alynda Segarra's (they/them) disdain for the alienating and undermining effects of the Internet. As the first new single since releasing their acclaimed 2024 album, The Past Is Still Alive, "Pyramid Scheme" finds Segarra “pointing to a larger feeling of social collapse that, as the song progresses, dovetails with personal struggle,” says the New York Times. With nods to Billy the Kid, Calamity Jane, Darby Crash and Frida Kahlo, their lyrics deliver “a prophetic reverie cast with troubadours, daredevils and outsiders” (Remezcla), while “railing against digital grifts and the exhaustion of trying to break through” (Queerty). Accompanied by a video from Jayla Kai Smith, “it’s the kind of modern folk anthem that gives you the shivers when you first hear it, because you know looking back in a few years, it’s going to feel even more prescient than it does now” (Billboard).
