Instrumental post-metal giants Pelican and Russian Circles are teaming up for a highly anticipated Winter 2025 U.S. tour, bringing their dynamic, atmospheric soundscapes to cities across the country. This joint tour marks an exciting reunion for fans of both bands, each known for their powerful live performances that combine crushing heaviness with intricate, moody compositions.

Kicking off on March 3 in St. Louis, MO, at Delmar Hall, the tour will make its way through Texas, the West Coast and the Pacific Northwest before wrapping up on March 22 in Minneapolis, MN. Notably, Pelican is currently working on a new album, promising fresh material that fans may get a preview of on this tour.

The tour announcement follows a history of collaboration and mutual admiration between Pelican and Russian Circles, both of whom have made their mark in the instrumental metal scene. Pelican’s expansive, riff-driven sound and Russian Circles’ intense, dynamic compositions are a natural pairing, creating a unique live experience that explores the darker, more atmospheric edges of metal. With a live reputation for mesmerizing shows, this tour is expected to deliver a deeply immersive experience for audiences.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. local time, so fans should mark their calendars for what promises to be one of the standout tours of 2025.
