Darkest Hour Adds More Live Dates Around August Show with Haste The Day
Even though they’ve got an upcoming show with Haste The Day later this summer, the dudes in Darkest Hour announced that they want even more time on stage in front of fans. Hence why they recently announced a handful of extra U.S. dates to satisfy that urge.
Three extra dates have been added in August: one in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania on August 14, one in Columbus, Ohio on August 15, and one in Knoxville, Tennessee on August 18. As we already know, their August 16 date in Indianapolis, Indiana with Haste The Day will take place on August 16.
8/14 Lovedraft’s Mechanicsburg, PA
8/15 Ace Of Cups Columbus, OH
8/16 HiFi Annex Outdoors Indianapolis, IN (w/ Haste The Day)
8/18 Open Chord Knoxville, TN
Guitarist Mike Schleibaum said he and his bandmates were excited to play more shows this summer, with each date getting support from handpicked local bands.
“We’re excited to add some extra dates as we travel to join up with Haste The Day in Indianapolis this August. We will be playing a full headline set with some handpicked locals (to be announced). When we first started, we were the local band that jumped on every show that came through town.
“Nowadays, it can be difficult for locals to have a chance to get on these types of shows. We are happy to provide some fertile ground in the form of a stage for some of these bands to grow on as well as play some cities we missed on our last tour. Stoked to dig in and headline all night long!”
In addition to the tour date announcements, the band posted a fan-generated lyric video for the track “Mausoleum.” Schleibaum also had this to say about it:
“The video was created by a dedicated and super talented fan who is a subscriber via our official Patreon! We’ve always felt so honored to have such involved and engaged fans. To us, they always feel more like friends, you know, people we could share a meal with, a beer with, a tour with, or even a mosh pit with! Thanks so much to Tony for his hard work on this, we love it, and we love this song!
“Of course, ‘Mausoleum’ stands out on Perpetual | Terminal as well as finds a unique place in our catalog; it’s a very special song for us and we’re happy to showcase it along with its lyrics in this new lyric video.”
