More than a year has passed since Cambridge, MA-based Passion Pit’s breakthrough album, Gossamer (French Kiss Columbia Records) has been released and the indie pop band’s momentum keeps building to greater heights. A companion EP, Constant Conversations, was released earlier this week via Spotify, and their ever-continuing tour lands them in Minneapolis’ TCF Bank Stadium this Friday night.

Normally a venue for monster acts like U2, the venue will host the band, along with opening act NYC hip-hop artist Hoodie Allen. The undoubtedly festive Homecoming Weekend concert takes place before the University of Minnesota’s football team takes on Iowa on the same field, the following day.

The lead single from Gossamer, the catchy “Take a Walk”, used in a Taco Bell ad and still receiving regular airplay, launched the band into the mainstream, with successful previous local appearances in a sold-out Mainroom at First Avenue and a raucous set at this August’s Summer Set Festival.
