Teaming up for what promises to be an unforgettable jaunt of epic proportions, French heavy metal luminaries Gojira will join forces with iconic heavy rock band Mastodon for a massive co-headline tour across North America in 2023. “The Mega-Monsters Tour” finds these two juggernauts taking over arenas and amphitheaters throughout the Spring and Summer, alternating closing sets each night. They’ll be in at Coney Island Amphitheater on August 12 and Syracuse at the OnCenter the next day, August 13.
The tour kicks off at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Portland, OR on April 18th and includes stops at legendary venues such as the Forum in Los Angeles, CA on April 21st. The first leg concludes at Santander Arena in Reading, PA on May 11th and resumes with a second leg that runs August 9th through September 2nd.
Special guest Lorna Shore serves as direct support on all dates. General on-sale will launch January 20th at 10:00am local time with VIP ticket packages available at gojira-music.com and mastodonrocks.com.
Mastodon hit the road in support of their critically acclaimed ninth studio album, HUSHED AND GRIM. Meanwhile, Gojira are out supporting their seventh full-length album, Fortitude, which garnered a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Metal Performance” for “Amazonia.” These two titans previously canvased North America together in 2014, and this reunion represents yet another major milestone in their respective careers.
