See Barenaked Ladies, Semisonic, Del Amitri At Fantasy Springs Casino

INDIO, CA — The Barenaked Ladies, a Canadian Grammy-nominated band, is bringing its "Last Summer on Earth" tour to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Saturday, June 24.

Tickets for the 8 p.m. show start at $39 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 3 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone (800) 827-2946 and online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com

"The beloved, fun-loving rockers are continuing the trend that began a little more than a decade ago with the Summer of Love tour," a spokesperson for the casino reported in a recent news release. The Toronto-based eight-time JUNO winners and two-time Grammy nominees are eager to hit the road this summer, playing three dozen shows in major venues all over the United States.

The group will perform at Fantasy Springs with American band Semisonic and Scottish rockers Del Amitri.

The Minneapolis trio Semisonic formed in 1995. By 2001 they had the No. 1 Alternative hit “Closing Time,” a Grammy nomination, and cross-Atlantic success with “Singing in My Sleep,” “Secret Smile” and “Chemistry.”

The band played intermittently over the next two decades, during which frontman Dan Wilson co-wrote the Grammy-winning Song of the Year “Not Ready to Make Nice” with The Chicks and “Someone Like You” with Adele, among countless other songs. In 2020, Semisonic reunited to release “You’re Not Alone,” their first EP in 20 years.

Scottish alternative rock band Del Amitri formed in Glasgow in 1980. The band has enjoyed five consecutive top 10 UK albums, plus a top-10 Billboard US chart hit with “Roll to Me.” Other signature hits, including “Kiss This Thing Goodbye,” “Nothing Ever Happens,” and “Always the Last to Know,” have propelled the band to more than six million worldwide album sales. No one in the band is named Del Amitri.

Over the course of 35 years, Barenaked Ladies has sold 15 million records worldwide and built up an arsenal of hits such as "If I Had $1,000,000," "One Week," "Pinch Me" and "The Big Bang Theory Theme." Widely acknowledged as one of the best live acts on the planet, BNL has hosted a cruise, had its own ice cream flavor, won eight JUNO Awards, and was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018. In 2021, the band released “Detour de Force,” their 16th studio album.

Barenaked Ladies launched their Last Summer on Earth tours in 2012, the year the ancient Mayan calendar had predicted Earth would cease to be. Naturally, BNL seized the opportunity to have a little fun with the idea, and they wound up having so much fun that they’ve repeated the tour seven of the last 12 summers.

For Last Summer on Earth 2023, Barenaked Ladies are once again happy to tour in the most sustainable way possible with the help of their partner, REVERB. Since 2004, Barenaked Ladies have proudly partnered with REVERB to reduce the environmental impact of touring, giving back to local communities across the US and Canada in the process.

Tickets to Barenaked Ladies with Semisonic and Del Amitri start at $39 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 3 at the Fantasy Springs Box Office, via telephone (800) 827-2946 and online at www.FantasySpringsResort.com.
