Enslaved, Alcest, Ghost - North American Tour

[Tyreese BIGGUMS]

Norwegian progressive/psychedelic black metal band ENSLAVED will be returning to North America this fall for a headlining tour marking the band’s 20th anniversary of existence.



States the band:



“Listen; the sun is setting, but I still see the twinkle! The support we’ve been getting from North America throughout our latest releases and tours is unparalleled, and for that we are eternally grateful. It is therefore an undivided pleasure for us to announce that when autumn sets, we will be back to tour the U.S. and Canada; this time for a full headliner tour with a full headliner set. 2011 marks the 20th anniversary for ENSLAVED, so we will be underlining both the deep past and blazing present of our musical universe to celebrate. It is also with a sense of intense pride that we can present the bands that will be travelling with us for the tour: Ghost and Alcest. Yes, you read that right! I don’t think I need to elaborate more on that; it will be a package for the books. See you then!”

also, I would love to see this tour but it is absolutely nowhere near me. gotta love these tours that ignore half of the country.

[jawn galliano]

so basically all of them in the last few years?

nah. worst comes to worst, there is usually an Atlanta date which is doable as its only a 5 hour drive from here. but more often than not the southeast gets fucked. I don't get it. whenever I go to shows, especially in the larger cities like Atlanta attendance is usually more than half or close to venue capacity (the Masquerade in Atlanta can hold 1500 and rarely has that empty feeling....). like I said, I don't get it. metal is well received in the southeast, but most tours, especially the euro bands basically say "meh - fuck it"

closest date is gramercy and I don't think my car can make a 130mi drive in each direction.
