Young the Giant will get back to their club roots in October with a two-night underplay at the Troubadour in Los Angeles—a stand that sold out in spectacular fashion.
Dubbed "a special anniversary event," the 10/13-14 gigs went clean in a matter of minutes. Per the venue, a queue of 10.5k fans—the largest in Troubadour history—were waiting to purchase the allotment of 500 tickets per night, which they did in less than 30 minutes.
The shows will offer a front-to-back performance of Young the Giant's gold-certified 2010 self-titled debut on night one, and a full airing of their sophomore outing Mind Over Matter the next. That album was reissued in honor of its 10th anniversary last week by WEA/Fueled by Ramen.
The Cali-bred quintet, which is handled by Activist Artists Management founding partner Matt Maher, is currently on tour with Cage the Elephant.
