Today Case Oats share news of their first run of North American headline dates. The tour, featuring the Last Missouri Exit line-up of Casey Gomez Walker, Spencer Tweedy, Max Subar, Jason Ashworth, and Scott Daniel, kicks off on Thursday, May 7, in Columbus, OH, with further stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Toronto, before the band embarks on their previously announced European tour. Tickets for Case Oats’ North American dates go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10am local time.

Hailed as one of 2025’s best debut albums by PASTE Magazine, Last Missouri Exit was a remarkably assured opening statement from the Chicago-based outfit, a crackerjack band of the city’s bustling folk and alt-country scenes gelling around Gomez Walker’s distinct pen and voice. After signing to Merge in 2025, Case Oats stunned crowds at that year’s SXSW Music Festival and spent 2025 on the road with Superchunk and Lucius, with additional appearances at Americanafest and Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky. In addition to their headline tour, Case Oats will appear as part of Boise’s Treefort Music Fest, and in support of select S.G. Goodman dates this summer.
