See below for itinerary.

With More Than Just a Dream, the Los Angeles-based sextet ramp up the timeless songcraft and soul sonic force that Made them a worldwide sensation to fashion a kaleidoscopic milestone that delivers on the promise of Pickin' Up The Pieces. From the charged back-and-forth between co-lead vocalists Fitz and Noelle Scaggs to the incontrovertible power of The Tantrums in full flight, More Than Just A Dream takes it right to the edge.

"The only rule in making this record was that there were no rules," says Fitz. "Nobody was allowed to say, 'We can't do that.' We didn't limit ourselves."

Rolling Stone said: "the album folds neon-tinted synthesizers and arena-scaled hooks into Fitz's fiery trademark funk to create a big, bright new groove." "More Than Just a Dream is a grandiose album-full of movement and energy," noted Relix. "On punchy numbers like single-ready 'Spark' and gospel-inspired 'House On Fire,' Fitz and crew have successfully crafted vintage tunes that simultaneously feel contemporary. It's the sort of disc that begs for repeat listens..." USA Today recently tapped "Out Of My League" as its song of the week, calling it "a colorfully catchy piece of '80s-inspired soul-pop."

Fitz and The Tantrums - comprising Fitz (vocals), Noelle Scaggs (vocals/tambourine), James King (saxophone), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards), John Wicks (drums) and Joseph Karnes (bass) - played their first show in December 2008 at Hotel Café in Hollywood, CA. After self-releasing the five-song 2009 EP Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1, Fitz and The Tantrums soon found themselves appearing on KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic," touring with Maroon 5 and recording their full length debut, Pickin' Up the Pieces. The band was named a "You Oughta Know" artist by VH1 and views for the video for the hit single"MoneyGrabber" surpassed three million. Fitz and The Tantrums supported Pickin' Up the Pieces with two sold-out U.S. headline tours, performances at numerous major music festivals and appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Conan," "Last Call with Carson Daly" and "The Rachael Ray Show."
