Dogs In A Pile (DIAP), fresh off a two-night co-headlining run with Eggy at The Capitol Theatre, have announced their return home to Asbury Park, New Jersey, on Saturday, December 21. After making their Stone Pony Summer Stage debut during their tour with Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and Andy Frasco & The U.N. in May, DIAP will take the yearly holiday party to the indoor stage, continuing the tradition of celebrating a year full of marquee accomplishments.
Last year’s multi-night sellout featured sit-ins from legendary photographer Danny Clinch, former Spin Doctors guitarist Anthony Krizan, and former Twiddle frontman Mihali during the first night. The second night saw former Twiddle drummer Adrian Tramontano join on percussion for the entirety of the show’s second set.
Before their Stone Pony date, the Dogs will play five East Coast shows to formally close out their 2024 Fall Tour: one night in Richmond, VA, at The Broadberry on December 5; two nights at The 8x10 in Baltimore, MD, on December 6 and 7; and two nights at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA, on December 13 and 14.
The band will wrap up the year with a four-night run at Putnam Place in Saratoga Springs, NY, marking their longest consecutive multi-night run at a single venue. When asked about the New Year’s event, DIAP guitarist Jimmy Law said:
“We’ve been discussing how big of a rotation we can manage. I think we can do a six-night rotation with no repeats. It’s a good number to create a cohesive journey for everyone and use all our songs in their best spots. So, I think we’re all up for the challenge!”
In addition to filling out next summer’s festival schedule with slots at Goose’s curated festival Viva El Gonzo (Mexico), Mountain Jam (Highmount, NY), All Good Now (Columbia, MD), and Zootown (Missoula, MT), the Dogs have already announced a flurry of 2025 Winter Tour headlining dates across the West, Midwest, and South, with more spring dates to come in the following weeks.
Formed in 2019 and hailing from Asbury Park, NJ, Dogs In A Pile comprises Jeremy Kaplan (keyboards/vocals), Brian Murray (guitar/vocals), Joey Babick (drums), Jimmy Law (guitar/vocals), and Sam Lucid (bass/vocals).
