High on Fire Plan Summer Journey to Great White North
…And just to be clear, Canada is the “Great White North” because of the snow. Not a racist thing.
Anyway, High on Fire, who kick off their European dates as the support act for a little band no one’s ever heard of called Metallica tonight, have already announced their next move, which as you might have guessed involves a Canadian tour. Having just seen the band at their recent New York show, I can safely say that you, my Canuck amigos, are in for a treat. Quoth the PR wire:
High on Fire has announced a summer headlining tour of Canada. The two-week tour will launch on July 8 in Vancouver, BC and is scheduled to run through July 24 in Montreal, QC where the band will share the stage with Alice Cooper, Slayer, Rob Halford and more as part of the 2010 Heavy MTL Fest.
