A slew of headlining tour updates have come from the MASTODON crew over the past few weeks. Just in case you missed it, we have all tour dates and info here for you today in one spot…
Starting off with a headlining appearance at this year’s Psycho Las Vegas Festival next week, plus a few other music festivals. There is also a very special show on September 9th in Chicago, Illinois to kick off the United States and Canada dates. The Chicago show on September 9th is a special event, as this particular concert is in honor of suicide prevention month. A full 100% of the proceeds from this show will support suicide prevention and mental health education.
Atlanta, Georgia‘s MASTODON is also releasing the next batch of ‘Crack The Skye‘ beer with 3 Floyds at this event, as well as celebrating their playing at The Metro venue for the first time in nearly ten years. There are Meet and Greet, VIP, and General Admission ticket options.
After they finish the North American trek on October 25th, they get a short break, then a full tour throughout Europe, and will round out the last tour dates at the end of the Fall season in the United Kingdom on December 10th.
All details and tickets for the special 9/9 show are available on the Mastodon website.
In addition to giving you a ripping concert, on select dates during the US and Canada part of the tour, Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher will be offering one-hour guitar lesson spots, happening from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm on the day of the select shows.
If interested, you can email BUTTERSLAX[at]HOTMAIL.COM to see if spots are still available to sign up. Available cities and dates are on the poster below:
On to the tour dates! Well, sort of – one last tidbit of info on the European shows. Mastodon has announced that during Europe dates only, they will be bringing along Scott Kelly of Neurosis as part of a special setlist for those shows.
All confirmed tour dates are below this video for Mastodon‘s ‘Sultan’s Curse‘, courtesy of the illustrious art of Skinner and the folks at Hey Beautiful Jerk. This visualizer is somewhat of a peek at the animation they’ll have at their live shows during the tour. Enjoy and go check out a show near you!
