Multi-platinum alternative metallers Primus have officially announced their touring schedule for Europe and the United Kingdom this summer.
The upcoming run will feature a mix of festival appearances and headlining shows. The band has confirmed that all non-festival dates will be presented in an “An Evening with Primus” format, offering fans an extended performance without support acts.
An artist presale is scheduled to begin tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25, at 10:00 a.m. local time. The general public onsale will follow this Friday, February 27, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Earlier in January, Les Claypool has announced a massive touring project that merges several of his musical ventures into a singular, comprehensive concert event.
The summer trek, titled “Claypool Gold,” features Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade sharing the stage nightly. Instead of following a standard opening and headlining structure, the three groups will perform in a seamless, integrated style with shifting rosters and surprising transitions. This format aims to create a non-stop night of music with unique setlists for every city.
The tour begins on May 20 in Reno, Nevada, and includes over 25 U.S. stops before concluding on July 4 in Napa, California.
