Dispatch, the indie folk-jam band from Vermont, last summer released their first album in five years, “America, Location 12.”

This summer, they’ll head on another tour to support it and will swing through Chastain Park Amphitheatre on July 28. The  band played the venue last June.

Tickets are $31-$61 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. March 2 at www.livenation.com.

This is a no-cooler/carry-ins show, so outside food and beverage will not be permitted.

Although the band has never been a chart darling, the first single from the current album, “Only the Wild Ones,” entered the Top 10 on Adult Album Alternative radio (a first for the band) and has been streamed more than 8 million times on Spotify. The follow-up single, “Painted Yellow Lines,” is also receiving airplay on AAA stations.
