Baroness will perform their Red Album and Blue Record releases on tour in the Midwest and East Coast.

Revealed today, the trek will kick off on May 7 at Baltimore’s Metro Gallery, and it’ll conclude on May 31 at Pittsburgh’s Thunderbird Music Hall. A full list of tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (February 7) at 10 a.m. local time here.

Vocalist John Baizley said this about the trek:

“In December, for our annual Philly pre-holiday show, we performed our first two full length albums: Red and Blue. It was a great experience, unearthing the deeper cuts from those records that had faded from our setlist and it offered a rare opportunity to play some of those songs for the first time ever outside the studio. While I’ve personally never been overly interested in the pure nostalgia of past records, we’ve always found it illuminating to bridge the gap between present and past Baroness by learning and updating/rearranging our earliest material. After the overwhelming and positive response from the Philadelphia shows (and while we’re busy writing our next record) we’re looking forward to taking Red and Blue on the road and sharing the experience with old and new friends alike.”
