CO-HEADLINING “HERITAGE HUNTER TOUR” TO BEGIN IN APRIL
AND RUN THROUGH MAY WITH GHOST TO SUPPORT
This is one tour that rock fans will be talking about for years to come and if you miss it, you’ll be terribly sorry.
Opeth and
Mastodon will be embarking on a co-headline tour this spring, which kicks off April 4 in Portland, Maine and runs through May 12 in Atlanta, Georgia. It’s the first time these two titans of progressive and forward-thinking hard rock have hit the road together and it’s going to be one for the ages.
Ghost will serve as the opener of the tour, which has been christened the “Heritage Hunter” Tour.
About the tour, Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt, in his trademark deadpan wit, stated, “We’re touring North America together with Mastodon soon. Nice! One of the very few metal bands of today that I genuinely like. Good people too! Ghost are coming with us as well, and they are one of the hottest new bands to come out of Sweden in recent years, and I dig them too. I sound like an old fart, don’t I? Well, I am.”
Dates for this momentous trek are as follows. Pre-sale ticketing begins on February 1, with public on sales to follow on February 3. Go here to purchase tickets.
