Photo credit: Ekaterina GorbachevaPeriphery, who recently announced the first pair of headlining dates in support of their album, Periphery V: Djent Is Not a Genre (Nov. 4 at House of Blues in Anaheim, Calif. and Nov. 18 at The Palladium in Worcester, Mass), have expanded the outing, adding several performances and dubbing the trek “The Wildfire Tour.”
“The 9-song album proves why they’re miles ahead of their peers.. Periphery continues to push boundaries.”
“The self-produced collection is their most wildly ambitious record yet.”
“Torchbearers for the genre.”
While the initially announced dates for Anaheim and Worcester include Plini, Archspire, Thomas Giles, Thank You Scientists, and Mike Dawes, the newly announced performances will only include Mike Dawes, allowing Periphery to have extra time for their expanded set. Tickets are now on sale for purchase.
“This tour represents something we’ve wanted to do for a while now… play multiple shows in more intimate rooms, and offer up different sets.
We’ve always been vocal about making art for ourselves, but these exclusive shows are something catered to our most devoted fans. Whether you just started following us with P5 or have been with us since the early days, we hope you can make it out to one of the shows. It’s gonna be a blast!”
