Live Nation has announced that Swedish indie-rock group Shout Out Louds will perform a show at the Commodore Ballroom on Monday, May 20, in support of its fourth studio album, Optica.

Consisting of Adam Olenius (lead vocals, guitars), Bebban Stenborg (keyboards, vocals), Carl von Arbin (guitars, vocals), Eric Edman (drums), and Ted Malmros (bass, vocals), Shout Out Louds is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2013 with a tour and a new album.

Of the new album, Stenborg says the group wrote about "the places we've been, the ones we're dying to return to, and the ones we hope to see before we die. We made Optica in great anticipation of lugging our orchestra across the planet once more, and we can't wait to get out there."

Tickets for the show are priced at $22.50 (plus service charges and fees), and go on sale this Friday (March 1) at 10 a.m. on the Live Nation website.

Tickets are also available for purchase by phone at 1-855-985-5000, at Red Cat Records, and at all Ticketmaster outlets.
