The Beths held a previous livestream in early April, in which they announced their forthcoming second album ‘Jump Rope Gazers’. The album is set for release on July 10 through Carpark Records.

The livestream also included The Beths’ rendition of the theme from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The group also performed an acoustic version of their latest single, ‘Dying To Believe.’

The Beths are currently still scheduled for the Australasian leg of Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy’s Hella Mega Tour this November. The band were also scheduled to perform at the UK’s Latitude Festival and their own North American tour. Both have since been cancelled, due to restrictions put in place from the coronavirus pandemic.
