Baroness recently wrapped up a sold-out, East Coast tour featuring intimate performances of the band’s seminal Red Album and Blue Record in their entirety. The band now brings the tour to Western North America with a newly announced slate of fall dates.
“West Coast, we’re bringing the ‘Red & Blue Tour’ in your direction this September with our friends and tourmates Weedeater,” Baroness vocalist/guitarist John Baizley shares. “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.”
From the psychedelic-laden “Isak” to the ethereal melodies of “The Sweetest Curse”, these special evenings offer fans a rare chance to see the Savannah-born outfit performing songs that are seldom performed live.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 11, at 10 a.m. local time via this location. The tour will feature a variety of exclusive tour-only vinyl with newly crafted Baizley artwork, as well as a selection of “Red” – and “Blue” – themed merchandise.
The Red Album (2007) and Blue Record (2009) laid the foundation for what would become Baroness‘s more-than-20-year career. These two albums introduced the band’s distinctive style, combining crushing heaviness with melodic intricacy, and paved the way for the ambitious scope of Yellow & Green, the Grammy-nominated Purple, the grandeur of Gold & Grey, and the expansive creativity of Stone.
