Cage The Elephant Neon Pill Tour with Young The Giant & Bakar

Today, Cage The Elephant, the GRAMMY® Award winning rock band mark their return and announce both the
release of their forthcoming sixth studio album, Neon Pill (May 17, RCA Records) and their 45-date North American
summer tour. The new album finds the Kentucky-bred six piece—brothers Matthew Shultz [vocals] and Brad Shultz
[guitar], Daniel Tichenor [bass], Jared Champion [drums], Nick Bockrath [lead guitar], and Matthan Minster [guitar,
keys, backing vocals]— forging new musical ground, while maintaining their uncompromising creativity and wildly
cathartic performances. “To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean
that in a positive way,” observes Matthew. “Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into
finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times we’ve even emulated
some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into
becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure
experience of self expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in
simply existing.” The album is available to pre-order on all formats here.

Cage The Elephant’s 45-date North American US tour, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on June 20 in Salt Lake
City with shows in cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City (full dates below), with support
from Young The Giant & Bakar on most dates. Tickets and VIP available for all dates will go on sale to the general
public on Friday, March 8th at 10am local here, and numerous presales, including for the band’s Fan Club, Discord,
and Spotify followers will begin on Tuesday, March 5th at 10am local time. For all Canadian dates, American
Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Tuesday, March 5 at 10am local
time through Thursday, March 7 at 10pm local time.

From their humble beginnings in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Cage The Elephant have gone on to become one of the
generation’s premier rock bands. They have earned dozens of Gold, Platinum, and Multiplatinum certifications,
tallied over 5 billion streams, and notched ten #1 records on Alternative Radio and 5 #1 records on Triple A Radio.
Their previous two albums Tell Me I’m Pretty [2015] and Social Cues [2019] garnered consecutive Best Rock Album
GRAMMY® Awards. They are maybe most celebrated for their live show. The stage is their home turf, where they
are most comfortable, and their performances, ecstatic and unchained, as well as cathartic and soul bearing are
what Neon Pill achieves in documenting.

Neon Pill, produced by John Hill, materialized during sessions at Sonic Ranch in El Paso, Electric Lady in New York,
Sound Emporium in Nashville, Echo Mountain in North Carolina, and at Hill’s own studio in Los Angeles, and
alchemized a season of tragedy and turbulence into the twelve tracks on their sixth full-length album. Nine months
into the pandemic, Matthew and Brad lost their father. The band weathered the back-to-back deaths of friends,
while Matthew experience depression and a mental breakdown, culminating in hospitalization. Coming out on the
other side, he learned quite a bit about himself, and gained a whole lot of strength and wisdom. Neon Pill came to
life in the eye of the storm.

Today, the band share their new song, “Out Loud” the emotional centerpiece of Neon Pill. Backed by stark piano,
Matthew’s bare delivery quakes as he sings, “Man, I really messed up now.” “Maybe it’s so straightforward and
honest, because I didn’t know if it would see the light of day,” he admits. “‘Out Loud’ is very connected to my
father. My dad’s the reason we discovered music in the first place. When he died, ‘Out Loud’ just poured out of
me. My efforts towards the song were deeply rooted in paying honor to him, and I knew it meant a lot to Brad
too,” he remarks. That, also in connection with the difficulties that I was dealing with at that time. It was almost a
subconscious apology of sorts before I was fully capable of grasping the gravity of it all. Subconsciously working
through it while channeling all of the adversity my family faced growing up coming full circle into my adult life in
this one song.” The release of this song follows the latest single, “Neon Pill.”
