Tickets on sale June 16 for Guided By Voices 40th anniversary concerts

Iconic Dayton rock band Guided By Voices will celebrate its 40-year anniversary back where it all began this summer.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 16 at noon for a two-night celebration at the Dayton Masonic Center slated Friday, Sept. 1 and Saturday, Sept. 2. The evening will feature supporting bands Dinosaur Jr, Built To Spill, The Heartless Bastards, Wednesday and Kiwi Jr.

The band, which currently includes founder Robert Pollard, Doug Gillard, Kevin March, Mark Shue and Bobby Bare Jr., will release its 36th album July 21 titled “Welshpool Frillies.” The summer release is the band’s second album of 2023. A third album is expected in November.

Pollard, a former elementary school teacher, founded the band in Dayton in 1983. Throughout the four decades since, Guided By Voices has had a number of lineup changes and have disbanded a few times, but have come back together to continue its legacy. It’s this “surprising and extraordinary” career the band intends to celebrate with the Dayton community in late summer, Guided By Voices noted.

Tickets are priced at $50-$70 excluding Ticketmaster fees.
