Britain's most popular DJ/producer collective, Above & Beyond are embarking on an epic 20 date bus tour from mid-January, the first of two legs of their 2012 Group Therapy North America Tour.
Kicking off at LAVO Las Vegas on Tuesday January 17, 2012, the tour will see Above & Beyond visit several American and Canadian cities for the very first time, as well as kicking off their 2012 residency at Marquee Las Vegas on January 21st.
The first leg of 'Group Therapy North America' will involve shows in Hartford, Syracuse, Waterloo, London (Ontario) and Norfolk, as well as more familiar stopovers in major cities like Montreal, Boston, Minneapolis and San Diego.
The first of two Fluxx shows in San Diego has already sold out and Beta in Waterloo, Canada, sold out in just 12 hours.
Centered around their critically acclaimed second artist album Group Therapy - "the biggest artist album of the year" according to UK dance music bible Mixmag, which features Billboard dance chart hits like "Sun & Moon" and "Thing Called Love", Above & Beyond's Group Therapy show takes the DJ set up into the realm of concert theatre - with emotive visuals telling the tale of the tracks being played and live video messaging from the band adding to the story-telling theme.
Also featuring previously unheard and exclusive club mixes of the tracks on the album, the Group Therapy tour will be a unique dancefloor experience for Above & Beyond's legion of North American fans.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now and it's advisable to be quick as demand for Above & Beyond gigs normally runs high - the band sold out two Hollywood Palladium shows in a record 24 hours earlier this year. Part Two of the Group Therapy North America Tour will take place in May & June 2012. Click here for tickets and info: aboveandbeyond.nu/grouptherapy-north-america-tour/
