Particle has announced that they will reunite with original guitarist Charlie Hitchcock for a select number of shows to celebrate the band’s 10-year anniversary. This is the first time in five years that Hitchcock has joined the band on tour, and fans can expect to hear all the Particle classics, as well as new material.

Since creating their signature high-energy Funktronic Rock sound in Los Angeles in October of 2000, Particle has played thousands of concerts in eight different countries, and has collaborated with other musicians ranging from Robby Krieger (The Doors) to Groove Armada. Their 2004 debut album Launchpad (featuring Hitchcock) was produced by Tom Rothrock (Beck, Moby), and was voted one of the top 10 albums that year by the Associated Press.

We just finished plotting our late August/September run that will take us to some familiar places as well as some new ones. Presales for most of our newly-announced headline dates are live NOW at BiscoTix! We start in the Northeast with a beach party in Dewey Beach. We hope to recreate the magic that we created in South Carolina earlier this month. Then we head down to North Carolina with a show at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh. Both these shows will be with our friend MiM0SA who will be joining us at many other stops along the way. If you’re not familiar, he is incredible young dubstep producer and DJ that you’ll have to come and see. After making our debut appearance at the Blackwater Music Festival in Florida on August 27, we hit Atlanta for what promises to be an amazing weekend of music with our close friends STS9. On Saturday night August 28, we co-headline at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre with STS9 and on Sunday August 29, we have our own headlining show at the Tabernacle. From Atlanta, we head up north making stops in Lexington, KY and Cleveland with our new up and coming friends in Papadosio. Come early and check them out.

Labor Day weekend sees our return to Chicago to take part in the North Coast Music Festival, where we’ll be joined by some great artists and friends including Pretty Lights, Damian Marley and NAS, the Chemical Brothers and Umphrey’s McGee. On Friday night, September 3, we will play our own very special late-night show at the Congress Theatre immediately after the Festival closes at 10 PM. This is our first return to the Congress since January 2009 when we tore the roof off the sucka with RJD2 and Prefuse 73. Ticketing details for this show will be announced shortly. On Saturday of Labor Day weekend we will make a quick jolt down to Austin for the Nocturnal Festival: Texas where we will perform with Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, and Armin Van Buuren. We will then fly back up to Chicago to perform our headlining festival slot at the North Coast Festival on September 5. From Chicago we will head east for a night in State College, PA on Tuesday, September 7 and a two-night throwdown at the Town Ballroom in Buffalo on September 8-9. This will all be followed by an amazing weekend in Holyoke, MA at Mountain Park and Boston at the Bank of America Pavillion, September 10-11. We will be joined at these shows by some very special guests to be announced shortly!”
