Primus had just announced their ‘A Tribute to Kings’ tour, where they would play Rush‘s classic A Farewell to Kings in full along with a set of their own songs, when the coronavirus touched down in North America. Now that more and more people are getting the vaccine and things are opening up again, the band have announced new dates for this summer and fall that also feature Wolfmother and, for most of the shows, The Sword.

“Finally, the clouds are parting, the planets are aligning, the dough is rising…whatever metaphor floats your preverbal boat, PRIMUS is going on tour again,” says frontman Les Claypool. “We were poised and ready for a massive, bent-rock extravaganza when the gremlins of covid came and yanked the rug out from under us all. I personally have been climbing the walls like a shit-house rat and, after my first season off in 30 some odd years, I’m very anxious and excited to stand in front of the microphone with my four string piece of furniture and belt out some girthy ditties to sweaty throngs of punters.”

Dates now kick off in Boise, ID on August 10 with both Wolfmother and The Sword in tow, and include stops in Spokane, Asheville, Atlanta, Houston, Austin, Atlanta, St Louis, Cleveland, Chicago, Boston, Asbury Park (9/25 @ Stone Pony), NYC (9/28 @ Beacon Theatre), and more.

It’ll just be Primus and Wolfmother starting October 1 in Philly with additional dates in Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Oklahoma CIty, Berkeley, Los Angeles (10/17 @ The Greek), Denver, Vegas, Phoenix and more.

All originally purchased tickets will be honored and if you cannot make the new shows you have 30 days to request a refund from the original point of purchase and more info is here. All dates are listed below.
