Earlier this year, one of the cooler nostalgia trips took place when Baroness decided to tour the east coast by playing the entirety of both Red Album and Blue Record. It was a hell of a run and if you know either of those releases, every night was an absolute banger.
It went so well that the band has opted to run the tour back, only this time on the American west coast. Slated to kick off on September 5 in Denver, Colorado and coming to a close on September 27 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the tour will see Baroness playing both albums yet again. This time around, they’ll also have Weedeater out on tour as the supporting act.
Looking forward to that tour to kick off, Baroness frontman John Baizley said he and his bandmates were excited to get the run of dates started.
“West Coast, we’re bringing the RED & BLUE Tour in your direction this September with our friends and tour mates, Weedeater. The first leg of the tour through the Northeast was such a blast that we knew we may have to add a second leg. Throughout the tour, we read your messages and saw all of your comments asking for it – so here it is: RED & BLUE – Part II. We can’t wait to see you again. We’ll be playing through the entirety of both records. Get yourselves ready for 90+ minutes of intense rock music.”
Tickets for this leg of the tour go on sale this Friday, July 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Along with both albums getting played in their entirety, the band expects there to be a mixed bag of “exclusive tour-only vinyl with newly crafted John Baizley artwork, as well as a selection of Red and Blue themed merchandise.” So bring your cash.
