Bright Eyes Announce 2025 Tour Dates, Share New Song: Listen

Bright Eyes have announced a lengthy 2025 tour, and they’re back with another new song from their upcoming album Five Dice, All Threes. “Rainbow Overpass” is a horn-fueled single featuring gang vocals by the So So Glos’ Alex Orange Drink. Give it a listen below.

Conor Oberst elaborated on that collaboration at the heart of “Rainbow Overpass” in a statement, saying, “[Alex is] kinda like my hype man, getting a little Beastie Boys on the shit! They grew up on punk rock and the Beasties, so there are a lot of little bursts of other voices. I like that. It creates energy. Sometimes music can feel flat until you get into a live situation, when there’s adrenaline and raw energy. Instead of working in reverse, where that happens as we tour, I was trying to get some of that energy onto the record.”

Bright Eyes already had a few tour dates on the book for this fall in the U.S. and Europe, but now they’re expanding that run with a long list of concerts that keeps them on the road well into 2025. The new dates begin in Phoenix, Arizona on January 16 and will last on through April 26 when Bright Eyes perform in West Des Moines, Iowa. See their full list of tour dates below.

In addition to Alex Orange Drink, who co-wrote several other songs on the record, Five Dice, All Threes includes guest features by Cat Power and the National’s Matt Berninger. It follows the band’s 2020 comeback record Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was and includes the lead single “Bells and Whistles” from this past June.
