Primus Stays On The Road

Turns out there’s more to Primus’ 2014 touring plans than a few festivals, three nights in Las Vegas and a gig with Queens Of The Stone Age. The band just announced a string of shows ranging from mid-May to late June with presales beginning this week.

Already on Primus’ schedule is the band’s appearance at “Cumbre Tajin” in Papanthla de Olarte, Mexico, March 21 on a lineup that also includes Tool, Puscifer and Tomahawk. Other previously announced shows include May 1-3 at Las Vegas’ Brooklyn Bowl and May 13 with QOTSA at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City.
