Against Me! & Baroness announce co-headlining tour; Drug Church & Destroy Boys opening

Well here's an awesome pairing: punk vets Against Me! and proggy sludge metal vets Baroness will do a co-headlining tour this spring, including one leg with garage punks Destroy Boys and another with post-hardcore-ish punks Drug Church. The run with Destroy Boys hits Grand Rapids, Minneapolis, Omaha, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, and more; while the run with Drug Church hits Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Nashville, Louisville, and more. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday (2/28) at 10 AM local with a fan presale beginning Wednesday (2/26) at 10 AM local (password = AM2020).

Baroness frontman John Baizley says:

It’s extremely exciting to get back out on the road in the U.S., this time with our friends in Against Me! We love tours that offer this much variety of sound. While our styles or sound may differ, we share some background in common. Our two bands originate from the deeply Southern U.S., we’re both products of the independent/DIY community and as we’ve grown, we’ve both worked tirelessly to maintain an ever-evolving independent and creative spirit. When we were a very young band, we looked up to and admired Against Me! In ’04, or ’05, I remember our vehicle breaking down in Gainesville, Fla. While we were struggling in vain to fix a road-worn vehicle, we ran into Against Me! (whom we did not know at the time). After hearing our troubles, and without a moment’s hesitation, they helped an out-of-town band of strangers fix their vehicle and get back out on the road. From that day forward, I’ve had a profound respect for the band… we cannot wait to get on tour with them.

As mentioned, Against Me! will be touring with Stef Chura beforehand, including a Long Island show on March 15 at The Paramount (tickets). AM! also play Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival. All dates are listed below.

Baroness also have some upcoming international dates, including various festivals, a couple shows with Deftones, one with Gojira, and more. All of their dates are listed below too.

Drug Church are wrapping up a tour with Thrice and mewithoutYou on the West Coast this week.
