Primus, yes those weird guys who play awesome progressive rock, and twists on other songs, will re-ignite their much anticipated “A Tribute to Kings Tour”. Thanks to Covid-19 the tour, like the rest of the world, shut down last year.
St. Louis got their date rescheduled and the band will play at the new Saint Louis Music Park on Tuesday, September 14 at 7:00pm

In a statement the band said:
“It’s been too long and Primus is excited to get back out on the road. We continue to monitor government restrictions and current health & safety protocols to bring “A Tribute To Kings” out on the road in 2021. With that said, we have slightly shifted the tour to begin in August and run through October. Check out the list of newly rescheduled dates. All original tickets will be honored. For those not able to attend newly rescheduled dates, a refund window is now available for the next 30 days from the original point of purchase.

Due to international travel advisories, Toronto is cancelled as we work to make new plans across multiple Canadian cities in 2022. Lafayette and Minneapolis were also unfortunately not able to fit into our immediate plans and have been cancelled. Refunds will be issued from point of purchase. Tickets and more show info at www.primusville.com.”

Enigmatic bassist and vocalist Les Claypool added:
“Finally, the clouds are parting, the planets are aligning, the dough is rising…whatever metaphor floats your preverbal boat, PRIMUS is going on tour again. We were poised and ready for a massive, bent-rock extravaganza when the gremlins of covid came and yanked the rug out from under us all. I personally have been climbing the walls like a shit-house rat and, after my first season off in 30 some odd years, I’m very anxious and excited to stand in front of the microphone with my four string piece of furniture and belt out some girthy ditties to sweaty throngs of punters.”
C’mon Down,
Les Claypool

The trio will pay homage to their favorite band, Rush by performing the Rush 1977 classic A Farewell To Kings in it’s entirety, in addition to their own music.
This show is a must see for any primus, and Rush, fan.
