Just Announced Pretty Lights illuminate fall tour schedule 

In case you haven’t heard, Pretty Lights—that tiny electronic act from little ol’ Fort Collins—is kind of a big deal. After jet setting and doing the festival circuit for most of the summer, Derek Vincent Smith takes his hip-hop addled electronic tunes on the road for a proper tour that launches next month and runs through October. As Smith rolls through a slew of Pretty Lights solo shows, he’ll debut new tracks from an upcoming, yet-to-be-titled album, hitting such modest stops as the Austin City Limits Festival and Boston’s Bank Of America Pavilion. He’s also slated to tag-team a collaborative show with Bassnectar in mid-October in Alphraetta, Georgia. The bad news? There’s no Colorado show on tap for Pretty Lights. It looks like you hardcore Pretty Lights-heads will have to make the trek to a city that’s more big-time than Denver, like Albuquerque, New Mexico; Des Moines, Iowa; or Tulsa, Oklahoma.
