Gojira have announced dates for a headlining tour in November.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November...
Gojira are touring... what?!
I see no reason why Gojira touring should ever be forgot!
After an all-too-short visit here in June upon release of their stunning new album ‘L’Enfant Sauvage’, metal masterminds Gojira have plotted a string of headline shows this Winter. Kicking off on Bonfire Night, November 5, the band have ten of their biggest ever UK dates lined up, as part of a wider European tour.
Special guests are confirmed as their home-grown French friends, Klone ( www.season-of-mist.com/bands/klone) and Trepalium ( www.klonosphere.com/trepalium/).
Renowned for their incendiary live shows, this tour is set to be a real firecracker!
Catch the band at the following dates: Mon 5th Nov - Newcastle Northumbria University Tue 6th Nov - Glasgow Garage Wed 7th Nov - Manchester Academy 2 Thu 8th Nov - Cardiff Great Hall 2 Sat 10th Nov - Nottingham Rescue Rooms Sun 11th Nov - London Koko Mon 12th Nov - Wolverhampton Slade Rooms Wed 14th Nov - Exeter Lemon Grove Thu 15th Nov - Southampton Mo Club Fri 16th Nov - Oxford Academy
Tickets will be available online from www.kilillive.com, by credit card hotline on 0844 871 8803, and from all usual outlets. All dates will go on general sale at 9am this Friday, with select pre-sales from Wednesday. A Kilimanjaro presentation by arrangement with K2 Agency.
Keep your eyes out for the dynamite new video for next single ‘Explosia’ - coming soon!
