The Shins Plan Live Return At Outside Lands Festival

The Shins have announced their first show in two years.

The band have been on hiatus, with frontman James Mercer on Broken Bells duty with Danger Mouse, and keyboard player Marty Crandall and drummer Jesse Sandoval leaving the band to be replaced by Ron Lewis and Joe Plummer from Modest Mouse.

Now they’re to return at San Francisco’s Outside Lands Festival, which takes place on Golden Gate Park from August 12-14.

Other bands confirmed for the festival include Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Arcade Fire, MGMT and Deadmau5.

The Shins are due to release a new album later in the year, having left Sub Pop for Mercer’s own Aural Apothecary label.
