We welcome back Belle & Sebastian to the opulent Carnegie Music Hall, six years after co-presenting their Pittsburgh debut in 2013. Since emerging out of Glasgow, Scotland in ’96, the band has been hugely influential in the broad realm of indie-pop, with multiple albums in the UK top 20. Their most recent output, a trio of EPs titled How To Solve Our Human Problems, Parts 1-3 was a return to an earlier format, allowing the music to emerge organically on EP sessions. New music in the form of a soundtrack to Simon Bird’s upcoming film, Days of The Bagnold Summer, due for release later this year. Still regarded as “One of the most thoughtful and compelling bands out there” (The Times), Belle & Sebastian are soon to head to The Mediterranean to launch their four-day festival at sea, The Boaty Weekender. The Montreal-based trio, Men I Trust, open the show.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

Co-presented with WYEP.
