Grammy-nominated rock outfit Baroness will hit the road again this fall, embarking on their “Your Baroness – An Intimate Evening with Baroness” tour, bringing their uplifting and dynamic version of heavy music to smaller stages from coast-to-coast.
As part of the celebratory nature of the special five-week trek, the band are giving fans the power to create the setlist. “Your Baroness – An Intimate Evening with Baroness,” ticket buyers will be provided with a link to cast their vote for the ten songs they want to hear at the show. Baroness’ entire catalog will be fair game with no song off-limits.
Voting will close one week prior to each performance. Tickets are on sale this Friday, October 1 and available here.
Baroness were days away from launching their Australian tour in support of 2019’s Gold & Grey when the lockdowns began. The quartet had recently completed an extensive European tour and were looking to spend the Spring of 2020 on the road as part of a co-headlining trek with Against Me!
“I cannot remember any moment in the history of this band where we’ve been more excited to tour than we are today,” explains vocalist/guitarist John Baizley.
“In many ways, this upcoming tour feels similar the very first Baroness tour in 2003: we don’t know what to expect, we’re through sitting on the sidelines, and we can’t wait to climb onstage. During the past two years we’ve tried to keep ourselves as busy as possible: writing, recording and rehearsing insofar as the pandemic would allow.
Throughout that time, one fact has become increasingly clear… we are built as a live/touring band. The most powerful and important aspects of music reveal themselves only through shared experience. Baroness’ music is designed to be shared; our audience has always been the final and most important member of the band. Quite simply, it doesn’t feel right without YOU!
We’ve started counting down the hours in anticipation of that first blissful moment when the lights dim and the room falls silent, when we can once again commune with our audience. We’ve missed you all dearly and we’re really excited to see the set lists you all design for us. There’s never been a better time to put the trust and control of our music in your capable hands. Electric or acoustic, sung or screamed, from the EPs to the LPs: we’re busy preparing for everything from those six or seven hours of recorded music.
Furthermore, we thought the pandemic had stolen from us the opportunity to play ‘Gold & Grey’ in front of American audiences, and we look forward to playing those songs for you as well. Finally, we’re really thrilled to have the opportunity to play up close and personal in some venues we haven’t typically played in recent years. It feels so good to share all of this news with you; we’ve missed this more than we can possibly explain. We hope to see you all soon!”
