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. ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/9d0fc619- 571e-80c0-a474-ed77371e9280.jpg?resize=190%2C190&ssl=1) 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.** Find ticket via the band’s official website: [**dcd.ffm.to/live.opr**](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=16757e11a8&e=615f2b8493) ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/21f4557a- f56e-ca0a-492c-7d39fc1a33e0.jpg?resize=332%2C469&ssl=1) **North America – 2023 Tour Dates:**   March 24     Orpheum – Vancouver, BCMarch 26     Paramount Theatre – Seattle, WAMarch 29     Arlene Schnitzer – Portland, ORMarch 31     Masonic Auditorium – San Francisco, CAApril 1           Greek Theatre– Los Angeles, CAApril 3          Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheatre – San Diego, CAApril 5          The Union – Salt Lake City, UTApril 7          The Mission Ballroom– Denver, COApril 10        State Theatre – Minneapolis, MNApril 11        Chicago Theater – Chicago, ILApril 13        Masonic Temple Theater – Detroit, MIApril 14 Meridian Hall – Toronto, ONApril 16        Boch Center – Boston, MAApril 17      Radio City Music Hall – New York City, NYApril 19        Carnegie Music Hall – Rose& Gilt Theatre – Pittsburgh, PAApril 21        The Anthem – Washington, DCApril 22 Opera House – Philadelphia, PA ![](https://i0.wp.com/gallery.mailchimp.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/0c00f10c- 6f05-40e6-9af5-994f1fcc10e3.jpg?w=1290&ssl=1) **DEAD CAN DANCE performing at ** Odeon of Herodes Atticus Amphitheatre (Athens, Greece) Dead Can Dance - ACT II: The Invocation [⌊Dead Can Dance - ACT II: The Invocation⌉⌊Dead Can Dance - ACT II: The Invocation⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **Dead Can Dance – ACT II: The Invocation** **[Website](https://www.deadcandance.com/) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/DeadCanDanceOfficial) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/DCDmusic) | [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/dcdofficial/)** ### Share this: * [ Facebook ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=x) * [ Email ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20DEAD%20CAN%20DANCE%20Announce%20North%20American%20Tour%20March%20%26%20April%202023%3A%20%E2%80%9CA%20Celebration%20-%20Life%20%26%20Works%E2%80%9D&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nyrdcast.com%2Fdead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works%2F&share=email) * [ LinkedIn ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=linkedin) * [ Mastodon ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=mastodon) * [ Nextdoor ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=nextdoor) * [ Pinterest ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=pinterest) * [ Reddit ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=reddit) * [ Tumblr ](https://www.nyrdcast.com/dead-can-dance-announce-north-american-tour-march-april-2023-a-celebration-life-works/?share=tumblr) ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_
