Weedeater Announce 31-Date US Megatour
It’s an impressive run, and for it Weedeater will be joined by ASG and Zoroaster, each splitting a portion of the shows and the latter taking a larger share. It’s Weedeater touring like Weedeater tours, which is more or less incessantly. Note that there are 19 shows in a row before the band, who’ll be playing by themselves two nights between switching opening acts, have a day off.
