TOURISM: MASTODON-GOJIRA-KVELERTAK and PALLBEARER-TOMBS-VATTNET VISKAR

Here are two North American tours announced this morning that are worth mentioning.

MASTODON-GOJIRA-KVELERTAK

In our first post this morning I included a report from Metal Hammer based on an interview with Gojira’s frontman Joe Duplantier that the Gojira would be touring with Mastodon this October. There were no further details then, but there are now.

In addition to the pairing of Mastodon and Gojira, the tour will also include Norway’s Kvelertak and it will include dates in both the U.S. and Canada. A pre-sale for tickets and a limited number of VIP packages will become available this Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m. local venue time. General sales will begin on July 11.

PALLBEARER-TOMBS-VATTNET VISKAR

This morning also brought news of a new tour headlined by Pallbearer with support from Tombs and Vattnet Viskar, and it’s also scheduled to begin in October. The tour will begin in the aftermath of Profound Lore’s August 19 release of Pallbearer’s new album, Foundations of Burden, which shows all signs of being stupendously good. It will also pick up after Pallbearer’s European tour with YOB, the details of which are also worth spreading around.
