Sparta, the post-hardcore band, gave fans another surprise after announcing a major update about their upcoming Cut A Silhouette Tour.
The trio, composed of Jim Ward on lead vocals and guitar, Matt Miller on bass and Neil Hennessy on drums, is extending their U.S. run with more dates and locations.
In an Instagram update, the band announced “new shows” scheduled for November, with tickets and VIP meet-and-greet packages now available.
The 12-date run will kick off on Nov. 3 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, followed by a series of one-night concerts in major cities in Colorado, Utah, Washington and more before a four-date run in California.

The last two shows will be in Arizona and Texas.
Apart from Sparta’s performance, fans will get to see Public Opinion as a special guest at every show except the final date, which will feature Tribes & Kaliyah as supporting acts.
Back in May, the band announced the schedule for its U.K. and European fall tour, which will begin on Oct. 4 in Dublin, Ireland, and end the 16-date trek in Kortrijk, Belgium, on Oct. 22.
The months of touring are in support of their latest album, Cut A Silhouette, launched in May.
The Sparta frontman described their sixth studio album as a love-themed album and the conclusion of an era that includes the 2020 record Trust the River, Sparta in 2022 and the latest Cut A Silhouette.
“This feels like we’re a f—-g band again,” Ward mentioned in an interview as cited by Idioteq. “All three of us are in a room, we’re all writing together, we’re listening to each other; this is now a constructive creative process, and it’s now the end of this era. Like, I made it through.”
On the other hand, fans will get to see and hear the band’s new music as they continue their multi-city Cut A Silhouette Tour.
