Baroness Announce ‘Red & ‘Blue’ North American Tour

Baroness have unveiled plans for a full-scale North American tour celebrating their first two albums, Red and Blue. This upcoming trek follows a pair of sold-out shows in Philadelphia, PA last December, where the band revisited those records in their entirety.

Dubbed “The Red & Blue Tour,” the progressive sludge metal outfit will hit the road this May, bringing those landmark albums to life on stage once again.

Vocalist/guitarist John Baizley previously reflected on performing Red and Blue in full:

“In December, for our annual Philly pre-holiday show, we performed our first two full length albums: Red and Blue. It was a great experience, unearthing the deeper cuts from those records that had faded from our setlist and it offered a rare opportunity to play some of those songs for the first time ever outside the studio.

While I’ve personally never been overly interested in the pure nostalgia of past records, we’ve always found it illuminating to bridge the gap between present and past Baroness by learning and updating/rearranging our earliest material. After the overwhelming and positive response from the Philadelphia shows (and while we’re busy writing our next record) we’re looking forward to taking Red and Blue on the road and sharing the experience with old and new friends alike.”
