Ten Years Of Galactic
The invasion starts October 26 in Crystal Bay, Nevada, and will include stops in New York, Boston, Washington D.C., and Las Vegas for the upcoming Vegoose music festival.
Openers for the tour are as diverse, with Lyrics Born and ALO each taking on different legs.
This year’s special Halloween show goes down in Austin, Texas, with Mofro in the opening slot.
A longtime staple of the vibrant New Orleans music scene, Galactic is thrilled to hit the road to celebrate a decade of good times and great music. “We’ve all grown up together and learned so much,” says bassist Robert Mercurio. “We’re not only best friends, we’re like family.”
Although the fall tour plans remain intact, due to the current conditions in New Orleans Galactic must postpone their 10th Anniversary shows that were scheduled for September 9 & 10 at Tipitina’s.
As longtime residents of New Orleans, the members of Galactic have been particularly affected by last week’s tragedy. Although the band was on the road at the time of the event, they plan on doing all they can to assist in the recovery effort.
They are currently exploring different options as far as benefits in which they can participate, and they will also use this time to work on their next studio album.
