Whether you sat out or got soaked at Young The Giant\u2019s Gasparilla Music Festival rain set two years ago,<\/a> here\u2019s your chance for redemption.<\/p>\n

This morning, the California alt-rock outfit announced that a trio of Florida shows would be added to its upcoming summer tour, with the first one taking place in Tampa. The 42-date run coincides with the release of the band\u2019s upcoming sixth album Victory Garden, which shares a title with the tour. While the album\u2019s hopeful first single \u201cDifferent Kind of Love\u201d and its rainy music video<\/a> have made waves since dropping last month, it\u2019s easier to lyrically connect with last week\u2019s single \u201cBitter Fruit,\u201d which sees frontman Sameer Gadhia and friends long for the days when they could really live hard and enjoy life again.<\/p>\n

Joining the band in Tampa will be Long Beach indie-rock band Cold War Kids, which will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album Robbers & Cowards, and up-and-coming indie-pop trio Almost Monday. And if this early-in-the-week University of South Florida gig doesn\u2019t match up with your schedule, a Ft. Lauderdale gig two days later is still an option, as is an outdoor stop three hours away at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre that Friday.<\/p>\n

Tickets to see Young The Giant play Tampa\u2019s Yuengling Center on Tuesday, June 2 go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. Prices have yet to be announced.<\/a><\/p>\n
