Highly revered Grecian stoner /psych /desert rockers 1000MODS are now over a decade into their existence and altogether, a pretty big deal. Now, after several full albums and EP releases, multiple attendances at Desertfest, and one just announced for the upcoming HellFest, comes what is perhaps the best news of all.
The Greek heavy hitters will invade the shores of North America for their first time ever in the form of a Winter 2018 headlining tour. Set to launch on February 2nd in Mexico City, the 29 cities’ major market trek will run through March 5th in Brooklyn, NY.
The trek will be part of the band’s current world tour and in support of their most recent album, ‘Repeated Exposure To…‘ Support on the 1000MODS tour will be provided by Canada’s Sierra and Iowa’s Telekinetic Yeti.
Drummer Labros G. enthusiastically shares:
“We feel more than excited to visit America for first time in our career. We have been looking for this for many years and after having amazing connection with our American fans through social media and music platforms, now it’s time to catch us live – the best way to enjoy our music! We feel also really glad having two amazing up-coming bands with us in order to spread the fuzz!”
Labros G. and his band mates Dani G. (bass, vocals) and guitarists Giannis S. and George T. are sure to provide one of the most talked-about tours of early 2018. Here are all your shots to be part of it:
