Sonic Youth will perform its landmark 1988 album, "Daydream Nation," in its entirety at several worldwide shows this summer. The first will be July 13 in Chicago as part of the Pitchfork Music Festival, in collaboration with ATP's Don't Look Back Series.

The band will also play Berkeley, Calif., Los Angeles and three shows in London; more dates will be added, according to a spokesperson. Previously announced was a June 2 "Daydream Nation" set at Spain's Primavera festival.

In addition, a long-awaited 20th anniversary edition of "Daydream Nation" is due in June. The set will feature a host of rarities associated with the period in which "Daydream" was recorded.

Sonic Youth begins a world tour April 17 in Osaka, Japan.

wowee zowee!!

4 Real? Lol! Killer!

Dunno if this was specified before, but is there even the slightest possibility for this deluxe edition to come out as a cd+dvd release or will it be the "usual" 2cd thing? I think I'd kill to have that show partially included in Put blood etc.etc. but I'm just dreaming.

Yessss!!! The DDN shows, deluxe edition... all very exciting!!!

I can't wait !
I hope they'll put some live stuffs, videos...

EVOL! EVOL! EVOL! EVOL!

(think about it...)

I'm pretty curious about what will be included on the extra disc. As I remember, there wasn't a lot of SY material released around the time of DDN that wasn't included on the album (Touch Me I'm Sick and the b-sides of Silver rocket are the only extras that spring to mind). I guess it'll be demos and live versions. A DVD would be nice though!

i would love a documentary about the album

Haha! This made me chuckle.

awesome!

non metal guy in a metal tee shirt says party on!

Well, maybe once they're done re-issueing all their 'classics' they can get down to actually recording a new album that doesn't completely suck. Now that'd be REALLY exciting.

What are you talking about demonrail? New album that does not completely suck???
the last 3 albums were great!

ooooooooooh, exciting. I might get around to buying the Deluxe Goo and the Destroyed Room when this comes out. I am a little behind.

They should also consider filming the DDN shows & release a DVD in addition to this Deluxe Edition DDN, which I'M FUCKING EXCITED.

i wouldn't expect a dvd if it's also releasing as an LP set.

I think this would be great.


I'm stoked to see what is going to be on this. Hopefully they do put out a dve with it.

Oh gosh! I was so happy when I opened this thread that I jumped all around my house screaming and hitting the walls, then I went outside and I screamed "WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! " on the street. SO FUCKING GREAT!

this will be the SECOND daydream nation box set. check the first (info from official discog):

There was a Daydream Nation box set released. It was limited to 150 hand numbered copies, and measured 13"x13"x1.5". It contained 6 items:

#1 - Daydream Nation double-LP on Blast First (BFFP34).
#2 - Touch Me I'm Sick 7" Sub Pop single. (SP-26 ltd 3000)
#3 - Providence (stereo/mono) 7".
#4 - Teenage Riot 12" on Blast First.
#5 - Daydream Nation XL T-shirt.
#6 - Daydream Nation tour poster (Drifter + fall 88 tour dates)

they should re-release the DDN poster and t-shirt featuring the now-lost "drifter" guitar!

i guess they could include the b-sides of the candle EP, the peel sessions on the "speak no evol" boot 7in., the forced exposure "silver rocket" 7in., a smattering of compilation tracks from 1988-1989; or more enticingly, whatever hidden gems locked in the sonic vaults they see fit to release... demos would be rad...
