Elder Announce North American Tour Dates
With a European tour announced already to take place beforehand, Elder have now followed up with a round of US touring set to begin Aug. 3, include a stop at the Psycho Las Vegas pool party, and wrap up on Sept. 10 in the band’s once-totally-native-and-still-partially-residence Massachusetts.
These will be the band’s first US dates in support of 2020’s Omens (review here), and I wouldn’t expect their next album to be out by the time they happen, though of course anything’s possible. Nick DiSalvo is pretty clear in the quote below about wanting to give Omens its due. And fairly enough so.
All openers are badass.
Fresh off the PR wire:
ELDER ANNOUNCE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
BAND’S FIRST TOUR IN SUPPORT OF OMENS
Elder have announced their first North American tour dates since the stunning album’s release, with the trek kicking off on Aug. 3 in Brooklyn.
“For a band like Elder that normally spends about half of every year on the road, the past few years have been hard on us – but have far from broken our spirit,” offers Nick DiSalvo. “We’ve been productive, making new records and preparing for a triumphant return. Our upcoming US run has been a LONG time coming, having not been back since selected shows in 2019! We’ve been massively looking forward to both performing tracks from our last album Omens live (for the first time since its release!) alongside older tracks from the Elder universe, revamped and reworked for maximum sonic immersion. Looking forward to seeing you out there!”
Tickets for the six-week tour are on-sale now. Ruby The Hatchet opens from Aug. 3 to 17, with Bezlebong taking over the direct support slot as of Aug. 22. Dreadnought appears on all dates.
