2019 has been a big year for Tank and the Bangas. Spring saw the debut of their sophomore album, Green Balloon. Fall brought on a well-deserved Grammy nod. The days and seasons in between have been filled with tour dates on top of tour dates all over the world.
Over the course of their album-supporting road-trip, Tank and the Bangas have played legendary venues like the Fox Theatre in Denver and Meow Wolf in Santa Fe. The New Orleans five-piece has blown out the big stages of festivals, and repped the city internationally, from Glastonbury to Madrid. There were plenty of hometown stops too, like the incredible performance at Jazz Fest, which brought the group’s fame full-circle. Now, we can add a packed out headline at Tipitina’s to the list of Tank and the Bangas 2019 highlights.
Doors for tonight’s show open at 9PM, with music beginning at 10. Two openers, the Suffers, and Casme, will take the stage first. The Suffers are a funk-soul group who hail from Houston. Casme is a New Orleans-based soul R&B singer. The Huffington post has described Tank and the Banga’s onstage performance as “music that you have to experience.” If you didn’t get tickets, you’ll want to keep your eyes peeled for any spare passes– this is sure to be an incredible show.
