YEAR OF THE KNIFE

Year of the Knife will be touring in January around their appearance at Tampa’s FYA Fest in Florida with Shackled, Kruelty, and Despize joining on select dates. Stops include Philly, Winson Salem, Atlanta, Columbia, Richmond, Smyrna (DE), Amytiyville, and Brampton (ON). Head here for all dates.

FIREBOY DML

The Nigerian Afro-pop artist will be supporting his 2020 album Apollo on a 2022 US tour.

A JOHN WATERS CHRISTMAS

Filmmaker and trash connoisseur John Waters is heading out on his annual “A John Waters Christmas” holiday tour starting next week. What to expect? “This rapid-fire monologue for adult delinquents asks the holiday questions, ‘Was Joseph a virgin, too?’, ‘Is Santa now an incel?,’ ‘Is Rudolph a bossy bottom?’, ‘Prancer a no-fats-or-femmes top?’ And Vixen, well, ‘Did she make love with Russ Meyer?’ Faux miracles really do happen if you pray to a lower power and Waters begs for the Satanic Temple to convert Greta Thunberg, hopes for a holiday ‘wilding’ outbreak against the Christmas spirit from non-Christian minority children worldwide, and dreams of a new Catholic saint based on Chucky, the horror movie icon. John Waters, the Santa Clause who will give you pause, the fucked-up Father Christmas is coming to town to put the X back in Xmas. Be there or die.” It begins in San Francisco on November 29 and wraps up December 21 in Baltimore. All dates are here.

TURNSTILE

Turnstile have added some new dates to their 2022 tour with Citizen, Ceremony, Ekulu, Truth Cult, and Coco & Clair Clair.

Seahaven were supposed to hit the road in late November/early December with support from rising, Run For Cover-signed emo/hardcore band Anxious, but the dates have been postponed “due to the still unstable circumstances of live events.” Stay tuned for updates.
