In November, Mastodon promised that 2017 would be “an incredibly busy and fruitful year” for the band. The heavy metal rockers weren’t kidding: In addition to releasing the follow-up to 2014’s Once More ‘Round the Sun, the band has got a star-studded North American tour lined up featuring opening acts in Eagles of Death Metal and Russian Circles.
The festivities kick off in mid-April and run through the end of May, with stops scheduled in such cities as Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver, Toronto, New York, Chicago, and Nashville. As previously reported, the band’s May 6th performance in Philadelphia is especially massive as it features Mastodon, EODM, and Russian Circles sharing the bill with Opeth, Gojira, and Devin Townsend Project.
For fans anxiously awaiting Mastodon’s seventh studio album, the tour is a must, as the group is teasing the possible live debut of new music. “We couldn’t be more excited to pour majestic rock sauce all over your town,” Mastodon write in a statement. “Come on down and help us celebrate the season of new beginnings where fresh buds bloom, animals awaken, the earth comes to life and there’s a new Mastodon album to melt your face off!”
