Presale tickets for the tour will go on sale starting May 18 where ticket sales to the general public will begin on May 21.
The release of their newest EP is the first from the duo since their 2019 EP Mettal, which was entirely made up of metal covers. They covered iconic tracks from well-known metal bands such as Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. Along with the EP, Rodrigo y Gabriela also released full-length album in 2019 titled Mettavolution. The album had featured a 19-minute long cover of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes.”
Since then, the duo has been consistent with releasing content. More specifically, they had been releasing covers, especially during quarantine last year. In May of 2020, the duo covered Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” during livestream event. In April of this year, they created their rendition of Astor Piazzolla’s “Oblivion.” The cover was done in honor of the late singer and was considered a celebration of his 100th birthday.
