Opeth and Mastodon Unveil 2022 North American Tour Dates
Last year, one of the best metal tours was a co-headlining bill between Opeth and Mastodon. Now the bands have announced a second leg of the North American tour that will begin April 21st in Montreal, Quebec before crossing the border several times and finally land in Riverside, California on May 11th.
”We’re excited to come back to North America for the second leg of shows together with our ‘brothers from other mothers’ in Mastodon,” says Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt. “And… hello, Canada! It’s been too long, we know! We’ll soon dust off the ole guitars etc. and get in shape for this run. The last tour was quite splendid; the only downside being the restrictions. We don’t know for sure how it’s going to pan out this time around, but we’re hoping for a bit more freedom to move around. Crossing fingers here. See you semi-soon!”
Aside from the monumental bands themselves, it’s a great opportunity to catch two mighty bassists in one night: Opeth’s Martin Mendez and Mastodon’s Troy Sanders. Mastodon will be supporting their latest album, Hushed and Grim, which includes a bass solo on “Teardrinker”. Check it out in the song’s trippy music video:
