Gojira Announce North American Headline Tour

Say… do you guys Dr. Evil’s voice in my head every time I read or think about the title of the new Gojira album, Magma?

Uh… me neither. I was just asking.

ANYWAY, promotional efforts for Magma have begun in earnest, and you know what that means: touring! Which is great news — much like practicing safe sex and avoiding Kevin James movies, going to see Gojira live is always a good decision. The first time I saw them, in 2006, they blew my ass out the back of my head. They’ve only gotten better since.

The band will be on the Euro tour circuit this summer before returning to the North America in September. Support will come from TesseracT. Try to contain your excitement enough to not trample the bouncers to death when doors open.

Dates are below. Magma comes out June 17 on Roadrunner; listen to the first single, “Stranded,” here.
