The band will be main support for Korn
Grammy Award-winning, French metal band Gojira has unveiled details for their upcoming Canadian tour, joining Korn as main support. The cross-country trek kicks off at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, on September 17th.
Presale tickets will be available beginning tomorrow (Tues, Mar 25th) at 10 am local time with general on sale starting on Friday, March 28th at 10 am local time.
The newly announced dates follow a run of summer festivals throughout Europe, and bring the band to North America where they’re set to perform at Aftershock 2025 in Sacramento, California. Gojira will close out the year with an extensive headline tour of France.
Gojira kicked off this banner year with a big win at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, where they took home the trophy for Best Metal Performance with their history-making single “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!).” Joined by composer Victor le Manse and French-Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, the four-time Grammy-nominated band accepted the award for the song that they first introduced to the world with a jaw-dropping performance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this past summer.
Gojira made history as the first metal band ever to perform at the Olympic Games during the star-studded opening ceremony which also included performances by Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. Accompanied by Viotti and nearly 300 classical musicians, Gojira performed from the windows of Paris’ iconic Concierge amidst a grand spectacle of pyrotechnics, making international headlines and being widely regarded as one of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Summer Olympics. Due to overwhelming demand by their fans, they released the performance as the track’s official music video in December.
Gojira is currently working on the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2021 album Fortitude, which featured the Grammy-nominated single “Amazonia.”
