The Live Beat: Young the Giant

Young the Giant are stepping out of our March magazine pages and straight onto the road with their freshly announced Victory Garden Tour, and it’s blooming with all the right sonic colors.

Kicking off in late May and winding its way across North America, the run finds the band balancing their signature atmospheric alt-rock with the emotional lift of new single “Different Kind Of Love,” a track already making serious radio waves.

Los Angeles fans get a full-circle moment when the tour lands at the Kia Forum, a major leap from the intimate, history-making underplays at the Troubadour, where lines stretched so far they practically earned their own ZIP code. Those anniversary shows—full-album runs of Young the Giant and Mind Over Matter—reminded everyone that this band doesn’t just revisit eras; they reignite them.

On this new chapter, they’re not going it alone. Cold War Kids join the bill celebrating two decades of Robbers & Cowards, while KennyHoopla brings his genre-bending edge to the mix. It’s a lineup that reads like a curated playlist you’d brag about discovering first.

And true to the “Victory Garden” spirit, the tour grows beyond the stage. Partnering again with REVERB, the band is weaving sustainability and community impact into the fabric of the run—proof that the loudest statements don’t always come from amplifiers.

With their sixth studio album Victory Garden on the horizon and momentum humming at full volume, this tour feels like a creative harvest. For fans, it’s not just a chance to hear the songs live, it’s an invitation to watch a band continue to evolve in real time.
