After a long hiatus of 20 years, Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade made their highly anticipated return to the road with their 2023 Summer of Green Tour.

This announcement marked an exciting chapter in the band’s history, with their last tour having taken place all the way back in 2003. Now the chapter continues as the band announces another 10 dates with their Hunt For Green October Tour.

According to a press release, Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade was formed by Les Claypool in the summer of 2000, during a brief break from his other band, Primus. The band had their debut performance take place at the famed Mountain Aire Festival before they went on to conduct several acclaimed US tours. They released two live albums in 2001 followed by their 2002 studio album ‘Purple Onion’. 

This tour follows an extensive year for Claypool. The press release mentions that in addition to featuring in a NYE performance with Bastard Jazz, Claypool went on to travel the U.S. with Primus on their A Tribute To Kings Tour during winter 2022. His success and acclaim within the music industry has accrued the interest and excitement from fans to see Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade perform live once again.
