Lake Street Dive brings ‘What About Flamingos?’ to Satellite Music Hall on March 2

Memphis is the fourth stop on a 15-date run behind the band's new album, and it lands in a room smaller than the band usually headlines.

This morning at 10, Memphis fans of Lake Street Dive got their first shot at one of the more interesting bookings yet at Midtown's newest room. Lake Street Dive plays Satellite Music Hall on Tuesday, March 2, 2027, with SNACKTIME opening. Artist presales and VIP packages began today, Wednesday, Oct. 28, at 10 a.m. local time. Presale registration and general on-sale details are at LakeStreetDive.com.

The Memphis show is the fourth stop on a 15-date North American tour that runs Feb. 26 through March 21, announced Oct. 23. The tour supports *What About Flamingos?*, a new album out Feb. 19 on the band's own Dive Not Drive Records, according to Grateful Web and JamBase. By the time the band reaches Memphis, the record will have been out less than two weeks. That makes this an early look at the new material, before it settles into a fixed setlist.

The room is the hook. Lake Street Dive usually headlines venues of around 2,100. Satellite Music Hall holds about 1,300, on a standing-room floor with a mezzanine above it. That isn't a small club, but it is noticeably closer than the band's usual stops. For a group whose appeal has a lot to do with the sound of a band playing together in a room, several hundred fewer people is a good trade.

For this band, several hundred fewer people in the room is a good trade.

Satellite is still new enough that every booking says something about what it wants to be. The Live Nation venue at 1291 Autumn Ave., beside Crosstown Concourse, opened to the public on Sept. 4. The Band CAMINO, a Memphis-founded group, headlined its first two public nights and recorded a live album across the pair. Since then, the early calendar has run through Valerie June, Project Pat, Modest Mouse and Iron & Wine and the spring already includes Interpol on March 22. A band with country, folk and indie in the mix fits that range comfortably.

If you're going, know about the Vinyl Room. It's the venue's premium lounge, sold as a ticket upgrade and modeled on Japanese listening rooms of the 1970s, with vinyl DJ sets, cocktails and food. On a Tuesday night that could make the evening into more than the set itself. If you'd rather be on the floor, the mezzanine gives you a second angle on the stage without the crush.

A Tuesday in early March is easy to forget about once the holidays get going, so this is the week to decide. Get the presale sorted now. By the time spring arrives in Midtown, you'll have a new Lake Street Dive record to learn and a room on Autumn Avenue that's still new enough to feel like a discovery.
