Incubus Heads Out for New Tour to Promote New Album
Incubus reunites to promote new tour and new album.
Monuments and Melodies is Incubus's greatest hits album which features 12 Top 10 hits from their six studio albums. The two-disc collection also has two new songs, "Black Heart Inertia" and "Midnight Swim."
The tour starts on July 9 at the Chula Vista, Calif. Crickett Wireless Amphitheatre. The 30-date tour ends on August 30 at the San Francisco, Calif. Outside Lands Festival, where Beastie Boys and Jason Mraz headline the festival also.
Incubus front man Brandon Boyd told LiveDaily.com, "We didn't want to call it 'Incubus: Greatest Hits' just so we didn't have to sort of subscribe completely to the notion that it was a greatest-hits record. . . . The song, "Monuments and Melodies," sort of arose and . . . there's a lyric in the song . . . that refers to where one has been and where one is going, and being sort of in praise of the process of growth."
Incubus's last album, Light Grenades, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 which is the highest chart debut for the band.
