The Sword has just announced a tour for 2016 that will be split into two separate legs.
The heavy metal whalers from Austin, Texas, The Sword, have announced a tour for 2016 that will follow last year’s High Country LP, according to Brooklyn Vegan. The tour will be divided into two separate legs and include two separate supporting acts. The first leg will be supported by Royal Thunder and the second by Purson. The first leg will kick off on March 20 of this year and ride a riff-train all the way into early May. This leg will take The Sword to shows in Tucson, Las Vegas, Calgary, Winnipeg, Fargo, Chicago and London to name a few of the different cities. The second leg of the tour with Purson will begin on May 8 in Tallahasse, FL at the Sidebar Theater and end in the same month on the 28. The two bands will be performing in Orlando, Lincoln, Philidelphia, Dallas as well as a slot in Atlanta’s Shakey Knees festival.
