Passion Pit Announces World Tour and a South Florida Show at ArtsPark Amphitheatre, Hollywood

Nothing excites us more at County Grind than a show announcement (OK, maybe a few things do, like pizza). And the information that Passion Pit just announced a massive world tour starting in a few weeks got us all worked up, especially since Broward County is on the band's radar...

Nothing excites us more at County Grind than a show announcement (OK, maybe a few things do, like pizza). And the information that Passion Pit just announced a massive world tour starting in a few weeks got us all worked up, especially since Broward County is on the band's radar. Hollywood's ArtsPark Amphitheatre is the lucky spot set to receive the electropop quintet.

Starting mid-June in Boston, the tour has stops in Canada, U.K., France, and, well, the Sunshine State. No word yet on who will be opening for them, but if their show at SunFest, their 2010 stop in Miami, and various DJ sets around town are any testament, we're in for a major dance party with lots of ogling girls come this fall. Get ready, fellas.
