Barenaked Ladies have played Cleveland since the early days, so it’s not a surprise that the Canadian alt-rock band would play here as part of its just announced Last Summer on Earth Tour. The tour, which pairs BNL with OMD and Howard Jones, begins on June 3 in Minneapolis, and includes a June 11 stop at Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica.

Pre-sale tickets are available at 10 a.m. on Feb. 3; tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. on Feb. 5. VIP meet and greet packages will be available at every tour date and every ticket purchased will come with a digital copy of the forthcoming live album, BNL Rocks Red Rocks plus an instant download of “ODDS ARE (live).”
