The Beths solidified themselves in the indie scene and gained significant popularity around 2018-2019, following the release of their debut album Future Me Hates Me in 2018 and gained traction through touring, critical acclaim from various outlets like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, and opening for bigger bands like Death Cab for Cutie.
The band recently made their late-night debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Oct. 28 2025, performing the title track "Straight Line Was a Lie," kicking off their North American tour and promoting the record. The Beths are also set to make appearances at the BottleRock Music Festival in Napa Valley this May, and then Gov Ball in New York City the next month.
In addition to these U.S. summer shows, The Beths will be performing around Japan, New Zealand and Australia this upcoming spring.
