Meshuggah Are Coming. I’m Finally Going.
I’ve never seen Meshuggah live, and this is the tour where that changes. Meshuggah, Testament and Blood Incantation on one bill, with Inglewood on April 25th. That’s the one.
Meshuggah have announced “The Forty-Year Anomaly,” a 2027 North American run celebrating four decades of the band, with Testament and Blood Incantation as special guests, per the band’s announcement. It’s 34 dates, February 12 in Toronto through May 14 at Milwaukee Metal Fest, and it includes the band’s first Red Rocks show. Southern California gets the YouTube Theater in Inglewood on April 25. Artist presale started today at 10 a.m. Pacific, and general on-sale is Friday, October 30 at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation.
Tour Dates
02/12: Toronto, Coca-Cola Coliseum
03/03: Brooklyn, Brooklyn Paramount
04/21: Morrison, CO, Red Rocks Amphitheatre
04/24: Oakland, Fox Theater
04/25: Inglewood, YouTube Theater
05/14: Milwaukee, Milwaukee Metal Fest
Full routing is on the poster below. Tickets on sale Friday 10/30 at 10 a.m. local at meshuggah.net/tour.
I can’t stress the openers enough. Testament are thrash veterans, and Blood Incantation have spent the last few years making death metal sound like it has somewhere new to go. Neither is a throwaway slot. This is a bill, not a headliner with two bands to get through first.
And then Meshuggah. Destroy Erase Improve, Chaosphere, Nothing, Immutable. Nobody else sounds like this, forty years in. I get to see some of the masters of their genre at play.
Tickets go on sale this week. Get them.
