Music Existence Because of Music, We Exist
Melvins, who are wrapping up a sold-out tour with Ministry, return to the road this Summer for a headlining trek dubbed “The Electric Roach Tour,” the hard-working band’s first headlining run since 2019.
“It’s nice to be able to tour!! We were wondering if it would even be possible again,” says Buzz Osborne of the outing. “It’s been years since we played these places. The amazing Ministry tour was a warmup for this!”
Tickets for the six-week tour are on-sale today at 10 am local time. Helms Alee and Harsh Mellow open on all dates.
Melvins released two albums in 2021: Working With God, a newly recorded album featuring the band’s 1983 iteration (Osborne, Dale Crover and original drummer Mike Dillard), as well as the a 36-song acoustic collection, Five Legged Dog, which features a career-spanning collection of songs, from 1987’s Gluey Porch Treatments to 2017’s A Walk With Love & Death.
