Back in December, Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine announced the “Outside Problems Tour,” a co-headlining trek that was originally slated for summer of 2020. Taking place from June to August this year, the trek will feature both indie folks artists at mostly outdoor venues and amphitheaters, promising some excellent spring and summer vibes with a small dose of 2012 nostalgia. Not only that, Andrew Bird recently put out a new single, “Atomized” — so hopefully, there will be plenty of new songs to come. — Paolo Ragusa

If any modern star deserves to be surrounded by a Faustian myth a la Paganini or Robert Johnson, it’s Adrianne Lenker. Prolific with her output, always sublime with her writing, and a powerhouse stage presence, in what world did she not sell her soul to the devil? Rounded out with Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia and supporting their album-of-the-year-contender New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, Big Thief shows are emotionally intense, almost religious experiences. Remember to bring some tissues. — Jonah Krueger

Kathleen Hanna, Kathi Wilcox, and Tobi Vail, and guitarist Erica Dawn Lyle got Bikini Kill back together in 2019 for a select few shows in the US and UK. A more extensive tour was scheduled for 2020 — but then the world happened. Finally, those dates have been rescheduled — and expanded — with a 45-date tour launching in Los Angeles in late April. The first North American leg stretches through May and round two picks up in late June following a few EU shows. — B.K.
