Experimental avant-funk metal trio Primus have moved their A Tribute to King to 2021. They will perform the Rush album A Farewell to Kings in its entirety. They wil be supported by Wolfmother, The Sword and Battles.
All three band members are huge fans of the Canadian prog trio. Main man Les Claypool hopes that it will actually happen:
Third time is the charm...we've postponed this Tribute to King's tour twice now. Once because we opted to help send Slayer on their way into retirement and once because mother nature decided to slap us all into isolation with a nasty virus. This time I will get to go out there and get my "Geddy on". I've got my Ricky shined up and have been practicing my Moog licks. 2020 has proven to be one nasty kick to the crotch on many levels. This nation is divided beyond anything I've ever seen; from who's wearing masks or not to who's treating folks with common dignity...or not. Let's hope 2021 will resolve us all into some form of unity. As far as touring, it will be nice to be back in the saddle again, see y'all next summer..."Geddy up!"Live dates:
