Primus Reveal Summer U.S. Headlining Tour With Ty Segall & MonoNeon

Primus have mapped out their summer U.S. ‘Onward & Upward Tour‘, bringing along Ty Segall and MonoNeon as support. This run will continue to showcase their newest drummer, John “Hoffer” Hoffman, who officially joined the band earlier this year.

Frontman Les Claypool shared his excitement for the tour, praising Hoffman’s energy and impact on the band:

“Hitting the road this summer with Hoffer at the helm! This fiery, cheerful, octopus-like drummer from Shreveport, Louisiana has breathed a very potent breath of freshness into this band we all call Primus. Fresh from their next jaunt around the states with ‘Sessanta Part 2’ this spring, Hoffer, Ler, and The Ol’ Colonel will be playing some full-length Primus sets at choice venues across the U.S., dipping into material (mainly at the request of Hoffer) that have not been performed in many years.”
