After 13 years together, Boston ska, rocksteady, and soul band The New Limits are finally heading south of Connecticut. THIS WEEK!

This weekend marks the band’s first multi-date, multi-state stretch. Dubbed the “A Bigger Wave” tour, named after a track from their 2025 LP These Are The Nights on Jump Up Records, it reflects both the coastal route and the band stepping outside their usual territory.

The tour kicks off April 9 at Wonderland Ballroom in Washington, D.C., where they’ll support The Soularites. On April 10, they hit Otto’s Shrunken Head in New York City with The Going Rate and Futon Lasagna. April 11 brings them to Wissahickon Brewing in Philadelphia for a show organized by The Heavy Beat, featuring former New Limits keyboardist Matt MacLeod. The run wraps April 12 back in Boston, where they’ll open for Hepcat at Paradise Rock Club.

Get out this week and see some ska!
