Aborted, Signs of the Swarm, and Party Cannon join the goblin metal veterans; The Boiling Sea EP out now
After two decades of goblin-fueled chaos, viral antics, and genre-defying heavy metal, Nekrogoblikon are celebrating their 20th anniversary with a major U.S. headline tour this fall.
The self-proclaimed “goblin metal” icons will embark on a coast-to-coast trek beginning October 16 in Phoenix, Arizona, and concluding November 15 in Los Angeles, California. Joining the festivities are death metal veterans Aborted, modern deathcore heavyweights Signs of the Swarm, and Scottish slam metal fan favorites Party Cannon.
Commenting on the milestone, mascot and frontman John Goblikon kept things characteristically brief:
“20 years of Nekrogoblikon Tour, what’s next? 21!? Drinks on me! See you filthy humans on the road.”
The anniversary run arrives as the band continues to support their latest release, The Boiling Sea EP, which is available now.
Fans will have multiple opportunities to secure tickets, with various pre-sales beginning June 9 at 10 a.m. local time and continuing through June 11. General ticket sales launch June 12 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour will make stops across the United States and Canada, including performances in Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Boston, Toronto, Denver, Seattle, and Los Angeles.
