Skinny Puppy
Legendary industrial act Skinny Puppy will mark its 40th anniversary this year with what the group is calling its "final tour," a just-announced North American trek that will be supported by Paul Barker's Lead Into Gold project.
The 24-date tour opens April 6 in San Antonio, Texas, and runs through May 9 in Seattle, and includes shows in the group's native Canada. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. local time Friday, Feb. 10, via Ticketmaster.
The band says in announcing the tour:
"It's been eight long years since we've toured and there is no better way to end our run as a group than with a tour celebrating our 40th anniversary. To our west coast fans, don't worry! We'll see you soon!"
Formed in Vancouver in 1982, Skinny Puppy - anchored by cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre - has been hailed as a cornerstone act in the industrial and electro-industrial genres. The group's 12th, and most recent, album, Weapon, was released in 2013.
