Catch the Fruit Bats concert in Chicago at The Salt Shed Indoors (Shed) on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 8:00 PM, with Matthew Logan Vasquez. Get your tickets today!

The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flat expanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you'll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you'll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill, Fruit Bats' June 12, 2026 album from Merge Records, is something else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson's heart.

There is a delivery delay on all orders until approximately one week prior to the show. This show will be taking place inside the Shed.
