X, giants of the L.A. punk-rock scene, will hit the road this fall for a series of U.S. dates celebrating the 31st anniversary of the release of Los Angeles, the album that defined their career.
The tour kicks off in Philadelphia on Sept. 24 and will end with their annual December holiday shows in Los Angeles.
X is on the West Coast now through June 18 on their “Boardwalk Beach Party” tour, making seven appearances across California.
The band is also celebrating the 26th Anniversary of the rock-umentary, X The Unheard Music. The film will run on screen before the band hits the stage to perform, track by track, the Los Angeles album. The band encourages the audience to interact with the movie as it plays; it’s meant to be heard loud.
