Primus Announces Summer Tour and Plans for New Album

Primus

Primus has announced they will be headlining a tour this summer for the first time in almost four years. The band, anchored by Les Claypool’s unique style, will be starting in Toronto in July and finishing up in Tempe, Arizona, with fall dates to be announced soon. The gypsy punks in Gogol Bordello will be supporting the trio for most of the tour, with rockers Wolfmother joining them for a California date.

As if that’s not enough, after Primus wraps up their touring they will head into the studio to begin work on a new album, expected in 2011. This will be the group’s first studio album of new music since 1999’s Antipop.
