Pitchfork

Contrary to the title of his forthcoming new record, Aesop Rock Shall Pass through the cities of North America this fall like bran through your grandmother.

Aesop's got two festival dates, one in late July and one in early September, before his tour kicks off in full effect September 8 in Philadelphia. Accompanying him on all dates will be Blockhead (with DJ Signify), Rob Sonic, and DJ Big Wiz (supporting Aesop and Rob on turntables). Opening acts include Cage, Black Moth Super Rainbow, and the Octopus Project.

None Shall Pass comes out August 28 via Def Jux.
