Beastwars Announce 10th Anniversary Tour Dates & Reissue
Hard not to look at this and be insanely jealous. In another continuum, I would’ve seen New Zealand’s Beastwars last year at Freak Valley in Germany. In this continuum, Freak Valley 2021 has already been postponed to 2022. Even in this decidedly shittier continuum, however, New Zealand remains safe to tour and Beastwars — celebrating the 10th anniversary of their self-titled debut (review here) while two years removed from their unexpected fourth album, IV (review here) — are making the most of it. Rightfully so.
They and Earth Tongue will do six dates together throughout May and Beastwars will play the self-titled in full, press it anew and release a new 7″. Tickets for the band’s hometown of Wellington are gone on presales, which isn’t a surprise, but if you’re in New Zealand and reading this, I’m sure you can travel and see them in another town. Because your country beat the plague.
The tour poster rules and can be found below, as well as the new recording of “When I’m King” the band has done to mark the occasion.

Beastwars – 10th Anniversary Tour
Big news! Our debut album is turning 10(!) so we are repressing the album, releasing a limited edition 7″ of 2 songs from that era and going on tour playing the whole thing start to finish (+ whole heap of other tunes). And even better, Earth Tongue are joining us for the whole tour!
Find the link to limited early bird tickets and the new recording of “When I’m King” [below].
Thanks for such a great response to the tour! Wellington early bird tickets sold out this arvo and all other shows are selling strong. Highly recommend hitting Under the Radar. That’s pretty much the price of a beer!
