LA’s globally minded synth-pop duo Rainbow Arabia is just days away from the release of its debut long-player, Boys and Diamonds, which will be followed almost immediately by an extensive tour of the US and Europe. Daniel and Tiffany Preston will start things off on March 8 at Mighty in San Francisco, and end their string of US dates on March 26 in San Diego—touring that whole span of time with South Africa’s Spoek Mathambo. Then, after a short break, Rainbow Arabia will fly across the pond to deliver its well-regarded jams to European fans between April 5 and May 5. You can check out that full list of tour dates below.
