DEAD CAN DANCE Announce North American Tour March & April 2023: “A Celebration – Life & Works”
“As with all Dead Can Dance records, [Dionysus is] like an anthropological encyclopedia without any words: orchestral strings play obtuse melodies that split the difference between traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern music, percussion instruments stutter and shake in curious ways and both he and Gerrard tap into the most primal, Dionysian parts of their souls for stirring vocals they sing in languages they seem to have divined.” – Rolling Stone
“Dionysus is grand, not unlike its namesake, and it aims to break down the distinction we tend to make between studio music and the sounds our everyday environments and cultural rituals generate in the world around us.” – The A/V Club
“a gorgeous, enigmatic, distinctive piece of work.” – The Big Takeover
“This is music of grandeur and grand humanity.” – Pitchfork
Announce North American Tour
in March & April 2023
“A Celebration – Life & Works”
Dead Can Dance have announced new tour dates in North America in March and April, 2023. The tour sees Brendan Perry, Lisa Gerrard and full backing band return to North America for the first time in a decade, last playing on the continent at Coachella Festival in April, 2013.
The band will be playing songs across their spectacular career spanning over three decades – including much loved classic works from the likes of their The Serpent’s Egg, Aion and Into The Labyrinth albums (4AD) as well as their most recent studio album, Dionysus (PIAS), plus much more.
The tour dates, beginning at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre and ending in Philadelphia, PA come as welcome news to the band’s dedicated fans who saw the band’s previous North American tour plans cancelled due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The tour will see Perry, Gerrard & co. visit 17 cities across Canada and the USA where they will play iconic venues such as Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Dead Can Dance are currently mid-way through the first leg of their two-legged Europa – 2022 tours, their first live shows since 2019.
Tickets for shows in Canada and the USA are on public sale from 10am local on Friday, June 10th.
