Wednesday 13 going on US tour celebrating Murderdolls

Horror rocker Wednesday 13 and his band are getting ready to set out on their previously revealed fall 2023 U.S. headline tour to celebrate 21 years of his former band, the glam punk greats Murderdolls. Get all dates below.

Here’s more info from the trek reveal, “WEDNESDAY 13 and his current band – which features former Murderdolls alumni Roman Surman and Jack Tankersley – will perform a full set of Murderdolls songs, taken from the band’s celebrated 2002 debut album, Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls and their 2010 sophomore album, Women And Children Last, which won them the Revolver Golden Gods ‘Comeback Of The Year’ Award. WEDNESDAY 13 was the frontman and songwriter, alongside Murderdolls guitarist and his creative partner-in-crime, Joey Jordison, in the metallic glam punk outfit.”

Sadly, we lost Jordison on July 26th, 2021, as he died in his sleep at the age of 46. Joey is buried in Highland Memory Gardens Cemetery in Des Moines, Iowa, only a brief distance away from Paul Gray, a founding member and bassist of Slipknot.

They added, “The tour will begin on Friday, October 20 in Los Angeles, CA, and will visit a slew of major cities before ending in Colorado Springs, CO on December 9. Support will come from Gemini Syndrome, Napalm Records labelmates Infected Rain, and Black Satellite.”

Wednesday 13 himself commented, “After 21 years since its release, and the recent sad and premature passing of Joey, it only feels right to go out and celebrate these songs. We made two amazing albums that I was very proud of, and unfortunately much of the world didn’t get a chance to hear the songs live. In 2018, we all got together at Joey’s house and discussed plans and possibilities for the future, but we both had other immediate plans. We will be performing tracks from both Murderdolls albums on this upcoming tour and celebrating the legacy of the band.”

Guitarist Roman Surman ended with, “We’re really excited to do a tour that Joey would be genuinely happy to see us do.”
