Thania Garcia Wallows — the alt-rock trio of Dylan Minnette, Braeden Lemasters and Cole Preston — will embark on the biggest global tour of their career starting later this summer. “I can confidently say this is the first time that I’m really anticipating a tour announcement,” Minette tells Variety of the band’s 38-city tour comprised of their first-ever headlining performances at arenas including Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. “I’m more nervous than ever — but not in a negative way.
I know it’s going to go well. I know our fans show up but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it every day.” After announcing their upcoming album “Model,” slated for May 24, Wallows unveiled the news of a global tour on Monday with an accompanying short film starring all three members and Benee, who is set to open for the band’s North American dates. “At first, the film was something Live Nation [who is producing the tour] tasked us with.
We had creative freedom and so we just wanted to see how far we could take it… and I think it’s fair to say it’s beyond what Live Nation was expecting,” says Minnette. “But at the end of the day, it is promotion for the tour.
