Yeah Yeah Yeahs have announced their return
Yeah Yeah Yeahs have confirmed that they're on the way back - they're booked to headline Sound On Sound Festival in Texas later this year.
The NYC art-rock trio have been fairly quite for a while - this new date will be the Karen O, Nick Zinner, and Brian Chase's first full-band date since the end of touring 2013's Mosquito record.
At the end of 2014 O revealed to NME that YYYs were on a break: "We're on a bit of hiatus at the moment, so nothing yet. We have to wait to get the urge, get that itch. The time needs to be right and we're okay waiting for that, I think... it'll be like muscle memory, this unspoken thing between the three of us where it all just… locks in."
Sound On Sound takes place 10-12 November in the Sherwood Forest just outside of Austin, Texas. Other names confirmed include Blood Orange, Grizzly Bear, The Shins, and Japandroids.
That all sounds fine and dandy, but we're excited about the "more news coming soon" that the "Maps" titans have teased:
Yeah it's been a minute since we saw you last! We are so psyched to kick out the jams for you @SOSFestTX. Watch for more news coming soon pic.twitter.com/vbL31IA78k
