They weren't done yet! Yesterday, we told you the French metal band was planning a route to make their way to Heavy MTL and Heavy TO in light of the recent Lamb of God/Dethklok tour cancellation. Now, more Gojira dates have sprung up, as it turns out the band is heading to Knotfest as well. The most interesting thing about this proposition is that the band has now booked two shows in New York, one in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn, a mere miles apart from each other in a week span. It really makes me realize how lucky I am to be a metalhead in NY, but then I think about the absurd amount I pay for rent, and it cancels itself out. Here is the full routing:
Aug. 9 New York, NY – Santos Party House
Aug. 11 Toronto, ONT – Heavy TO festival
Aug. 12 Montreal, QC – Heavy MTL festival
Aug. 13 Worcester, MA – Palladium (Upstairs)
Aug. 16 Chicago, IL – Bottom Lounge
Aug. 18 Minneapolis, MN – Knotfest
Aug. 19 Milwaukee, WI – Rave Bar
Aug. 20 Cleveland, OH – Peabodys
