Beck's 2019 Tour Is Coming To Columbia: How To Get Tickets

COLUMBIA, MD — After winning a Grammy this past weekend, Beck is going on tour. And one of the shows will be at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia.

Rocketed to fame in 1993 with his hit song "Loser," the 48-year-old musician won two Grammy awards on Sunday, including Best Alternative Music Album for his 2017 LP "Colors."

He announced The Night Running Tour on Monday morning, with fellow alternative band Cage The Elephant and Spoon.

The 30-date tour kicks off July 11 in Ridgefield, Washington, and ends Aug. 30 in West Palm Beach, Florida. It includes performances in cities like Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Phoenix, New York, Raleigh, St. Louis and Tampa.

In Columbia, Beck and company will play at Merriweather Post Pavilion on Aug. 22. Tickets start at $50. Enter the promo code "PatchTickets10" at checkout to score 10 percent off.

On the tour, Starcrawler, Wild Belle and Sunflower Bean will play opening acts.

Beck's popular hits include 90s jams such as "Loser," "Where It's At," and "Jack-Ass," as well as the 2005 song "E-Pro."

Rolling Stone gave Beck's album "Colors" 4 out 5 stars and said it was a "brilliant attempt to reckon with — and put his own stamp on — modern pop in the late 2010s."

"The result is his most straight-ahead fun album since the '90s," wrote author Will Hermes.
The pop culture magazine in 2017 called the songs "Dreams" and "Wow" the highlights of the now-Grammy award-winning album, but said nearly every other song was also deserving.

For many, Cage The Elephant is a household name, too. The alternative band has charted hits including "Trouble," "Come A Little Closer," "Back Against The Wall" and "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked."
