Yesterday saw news of Gasparilla Music Festival’s fall return, and it looks like at least one of Tampa Bay’s most active venues is getting its concert calendar going this fall, too.
The Ritz Ybor—which recently escaped an alcohol license suspension—announced that Candadian elctropop favorite Purity Ring is headed to the venue on Nov. 22. The band built around Megan James and Corin Roddick played the same room in 2015 and even hit Amalie Arena with Katy Perry two years later. Before that the band played Orpheum back in 2013.
Tickets to see Purity Ring in concert at The Ritz Ybor are on sale now and start at $26.
Purity Ring's manager, Mookie Singerman, told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that, "We're planning for a full capacity show but plans can obviously change given the state of things." Full capacity is just under 1,200 for the Ybor City venue located at 1503 E 7th Ave.
The tour date is in support of Purity Ring’s new EP, Womb, which was released last April. The Tampa date in Ybor City is one of three Florida dates for the band, which hits Orlando on Nov. 24 (Plaza Live) and Ft. Lauderdale on Nov. 23 (Revolution Live).
