Cage the Elephant coming to Riverbend Music Center

CINCINNATI (WXIX) -Alternative rock band and Kentucky natives Cage the Elephant will be coming to the Queen City this summer on their 45-city North American tour in honor of the release of their fourth studio album, Neon Pill.

Cage the Elephant will be performing at Riverbend Music Center on Friday, Aug. 30, with fellow musicians Young the Giant and Bakar.

The album, produced by John Hill, is a reflection of the emotional journey the band members went through after losing a family member and friends and battling with mental health issues.

“To me, Neon Pill is the first record where we were consistently uninfluenced, and I mean that in a positive way,” vocalist Matthew Shultz said. “Everything is undoubtedly expressed through having settled into finding our own voice. We’ve always drawn inspiration from artists we love, and at times, we’ve even emulated some of them to a certain degree. With this album, having gone through so much, life had almost forced us into becoming more and more comfortable with ourselves. We weren’t reaching for much outside of the pure experience of self-expression, and simultaneously not necessarily settling either. We just found a uniqueness in simply existing.”

Neon Pill will be available on May 17.

Tickets for the show will go on sale to the general public on March 8 at 10 a.m.
