Horror-inspired rockers Ice Nine Kills have announced their Hell of a Summer Tour, headlining U.S. shows this August. Produced by Live Nation, the trek will take the band to arenas and amphitheaters across the country, wrapping up with a hometown performance at Worcester’s DCU Center as part of their annual Silver Scream Con.
The tour will feature support from Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and The Funeral Portrait from August 8 through August 31. Mest will join the lineup starting September 2. The September 13 show at Silver Scream Con will include performances by Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, Mest, and a special guest appearance by A Loss for Words.
Spencer Charnas, vocalist of Ice Nine Kills, comments:
The HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR will be a celebration of all things INK — past, present, and future.
It’s an eclectic bill, and having MEST on some of the shows is a particularly full-circle moment for me. As many Psychos will remember, I formed the band after seeing Goldfinger and MEST in Worcester 25 years ago.
The date is so important to me that I have it tattooed behind my ear.
The tour culminates in a sure-to-be historic performance at the DCU Center, where I experienced some of my first arena shows as a kid, including the Family Values Tour with our current tourmates, Limp Bizkit, and home of the Silver Scream Con.
The HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR’s last stop, at the Silver Scream Con, will also feature some New England punk rock royalty as a very special guest.
