Godspeed You! Black Emperor debuted some new material live recently, and now they announced a lengthy fall tour. The ‘Liberation Autumn of ’24’ tour kicks off with a Europe/UK run, followed by a North American run with the longer title of ‘Godspeed You! Black Emperor on American Highway Beneath Setting Suns Thru the Liberation Autumn of ’24.’ After a few shows in the band’s home country of Canada, Godspeed will hit Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, DC, NYC, Boston, Philly, and more. Tickets for all North American dates go on sale Friday (6/7) at 10 AM ET.
Most dates on the North American run have support from Alan Sparhawk of Low, who also opened Godspeed’s recent Knockdown Center show, and who says: “Low took Godspeed You Black Emperor on their first US tour years ago. It was mostly small rooms in the southeast. They’d quite literally blow the doors out every night – playing our set after them felt like standing in an empty crater. I’m excited to play shows with them again.”
The NYC stop is on November 21 at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, presented by Le Poisson Rouge. No opener is currently announced for that one. All dates are listed below.
