The Church will return to the United States this fall for a second round of dates in support of the band’s 26th studio album The Hypnogogue — a run of 25 shows that opens in late September and continues through early November.

The band, which played 20 dates in the U.S. in March and April, opens the newly announced shows Sept. 28 in Seattle and continues through a pair of concerts in Evanston, Illinois, on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.

Head over to thechurchband.net for full ticket information.

The new album is The Church’s first since the 2020 departure of founding guitarist Peter Koppes, leaving singer-bassist Steve Kilbey as the only original member of the band. He’s joined by longtime Church drummer Tim Powles, guitarists Ian Haug and Ashley Naylor, and multi-instrumentalist Jeffrey Cain.
