Mdou Moctar Adds A Headlining North American Tour To Their 2022 Schedule

A few months ago, it was revealed that standout Niger rock group Mdou Moctar would be joining Parquet Courts on their 2022 tour. Now, while the African band finds themselves on this side of the ocean, they’re going to go ahead and have a North American headlining tour of their own, as they announced today.

The group will be on the road with Parquet Courts from February 27 to March 18, but now they’ve added some solo dates before and after that run. They have shows in Rhode Island and Virginia on February 24 and 26, and then they have another run of shows in late March, including a stop at Tennessee’s Big Ears Festival.

This comes after a big year for the band: Many publications (like Uproxx) thought Afrique Victime was one of 2021’s best albums and they even found themselves on Barack Obama’s year-end list of favorite music.

Check out the full list of Mdou Moctar’s upcoming tour dates below.
