Gojira Announce Fall 2016 Tour Dates

Gojira is returning to North America for an extensive international tour. The group has announced a month-long trek about North American with guests Tesseract in addition to their festival dates this summer.

The tour will promote their upcoming album, Magma, due to be released June 17. They have already shared single “Stranded” leading to much anticipation from fans of the French metal rockers.

The band will spend the summer will trek through Europe and North America to play a number of shows and make a string of festival appearances. A month later, Gojira will head to North America on Sept. 21 to begin the tour in Maryland and travel through North America. Gojira will wind the tour down in New York October 23. In addition to the tour this Fall, the band will make rounds on the festival circuit, such as Graspop 2016.

The band’s upcoming album was written and influenced by the death of Joe and Mario Duplantier’s mother, who passed away last year. Mario tells Rolling Stone.

When you read Joe’s lyrics, for me, I cry right away… They’re very deep and to the point. No bullsit. We recycle our sadness and depression in the music.

Presale for tickets and VIP packages for the tour will be available Wednesday May 4 at 10 AM. General sale will begin Friday, May 6 at 10 AM. Check out the full list of 2016 North American tour dates below.
