Saturna Announce January West Coast US Tour Dates
Obviously the below comes from social media, and I’m willing to bet that if you live in one of the towns clearly spelled out on the list of tour dates and are thinking of going, you probably can put together which venue between familiar spaces like Yucca Tap Room and The Lost Well will be occupied on which night by Saturna, who are coming over from Spain to play Planet Desert Rock Weekend at the end of January.
I said the other day in posting a West Coat tour happening around that fest that it wouldn’t be the last one, and here we are. Given the quotient of import acts, I sincerely doubt this would be the end of it either. My feelings on the subject have all the complexity of ‘the more the merrier.’ Really, given the quotient of import acts on the Planet Desert Rock Weekend VI lineup, it makes the most sense for these bands coming over to even do a more-minor-than-this stretch of touring, let alone the two weeks Saturna will do in the company of Phantom Hound. I know a guy in Joshua Tree if you need a driver.
But the more bands are out, the more shows there are, the more chances there are for people to go, have a life-changing experience and continue to evolve art through their own expression. If the occasion isn’t there for the tour, that has no chance of happening, and the sum-total of creativity in the world diminishes ever so slightly. We need more, not less, obviously.
I’m planning to hit Planet Desert Rock Weekend again in 2026, so will look forward to seeing Saturna for the first time there.
Here’s where they’ll be otherwise while they’re in the country:
