Australian music duo Dead Can Dance have announced new North American tour dates for March and April of next year. The outing will see Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard and full backing band make their grand return to the USA and Canada for the first time in a decade, previously performing at ‘Coachella’ in 2013. You might recall, Dead Can Dance were set to play North American cities in 2020 and 2021, but the pandemic had other plans.
Here’s more info from today’s tour announcement, “The band will be playing songs across their spectacular career spanning over three decades – including much loved classic works from the likes of their ‘The Serpent’s Egg,’ ‘Aion’ and ‘Into The Labyrinth’ albums (4AD) as well as their most recent studio album, ‘Dionysus’ (PIAS), plus much more.”
They add, “The tour dates, beginning at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre and ending in Philadelphia, PA come as welcome news to the band’s dedicated fans who saw the band’s previous North American tour plans cancelled due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The tour will see Perry, Gerrard & co. visit 17 cities across Canada and the USA where they will play iconic venues such as Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Radio City Music Hall in New York City.”
Dead Can Dance are presently halfway through the first leg of their two-legged European 2022 tours, marking their first live shows since 2019. See the newly announced American tour dates below.
