Both bands will perform their respective albums in full. Special guests Kerry King and Malevolence will support throughout the tour, with Unearth on select dates.

Mastodon will support the Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research. After their manager Nick John tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2018, Mastodon partnered with the organization and has raised nearly $60,000 to fight the disease and support researchers and patients around the globe. The Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research is focused on finding a cure for pancreatic cancer and empowering patients and families whose lives are touched by this disease. Founded in 1997, the Hirshberg Foundation funds groundbreaking scientific research provides patient education and support, and sustains hope that this cancer will be eradicated once and for all.
Lamb of God’s most recent studio offering, 2022’s Omens, notably marked the band’s sixth consecutive Top 15 debut on the Billboard 200 in addition to capturing No. 1 on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, No. 3 on the Top Album Sales Chart, No. 3 on the Top Rock Albums Chart, and No. 5 on the Top Vinyl Albums Chart. Not to mention, it has amassed an unprecedented 60 million streams and counting.
Mastodon’s latest studio album, Hushed and Grim, a double LP recorded at the band’s Atlanta studio, Ember City, was produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Rush, Muse, Peter Gabriel). This album, their most expansive song cycle to date, features 15 distinct tracks and achieved their third consecutive No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums Chart. Hushed and Grim also earned them a Grammy Award nomination for the track “Pushing The Tides.” Additionally, the album’s single “Teardrinker” secured a top 10 position on the rock radio charts, a further testament to the band’s widespread acclaim.
