THE SWORD Extend ‘Warp Riders’ 15th Anniversary Tour, Add New U.S. Dates

Texan stoner rock mainstays The Sword have expanded their ongoing 15th anniversary tour celebrating their third studio album, Warp Riders. A newly announced leg of U.S. dates will keep the band on the road through the fall.

Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol will once again serve as direct support, while Pink Fuzz and Moon Destroys are slated to split the opening duties on select dates.

Originally released in 2010, Warp Riders marked a sonic shift for The Sword, embracing a sci-fi narrative and a heavier, more groove-driven sound. These upcoming shows will continue the band’s celebration of that era with full-album performances and more.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 11th at 10:00am local time. You can find the previously announced dates for the 15th anniversary tour below.
