Philadelphia-based group mewithoutyou, who garnered attention for their indie-rock tunes over the last 20 years, are heading out on their farewell tour.

Their tour, originally scheduled for 2020, has been pushed to this summer.
PHISH | July 24: XFINITY Theatre, Hartford
Expect a groovy show this week as funk, reggae, and psychedelic rock join forces when Phish hits the stage.
