Maryland rockers CLUTCH have confirmed that they will be heading back down under next year to participate in the Soundwave Festival. The first show is Saturday February 22nd in Brisbane, followed by shows in Syndey, Melbourne and Adelaide before wrapping up Monday March 3rd in Perth. CLUTCH headlining Australian dates will be announced shortly.
CLUTCH will kick off the next leg of the Earth Rocker World Tour September 14th in Baltimore, MD with an appearance at The Shindig Festival. But before they do CLUTCH will also make a one off trip to Western Canada and appear in Edmonton, Alberta on August 31st for the Alberta’s Own Festival. Support on the headline tour in September will come from The Sword and Crobot.
The start of the October leg of the tour will begin with another festival appearance in Virginia Beach, VA at Localpalooza. Support on these shows will be provided by The Sword and American Sharks.
While on tour in Europe in June and July the band published a number of tour diary entries on Facebook, which were all well received by the band’s fans. Neil Fallon wasn’t able to publish his words of tour wisdom back then, but his diary entry will be up on Facebook within the next couple of days. Prepare for deep insights into life on the road, the daily ups and downs and very canny characterizations of the locals across many European countries. This is an epic piece of word craftsmanship. If you like a good read, tune in.
