Supergroup Tomahawk Returning With Summer Tour

(Speakeasy) Tomahawk return to the road this summer for their first live performances in 13 years, with the month-long U.S. run marking the band's 25th anniversary and reuniting Tomahawk with labelmates the Melvins for their first tour together since 2003's "Geek Show" trek.

Featuring Duane Denison, Mike Patton, John Stanier, and Trevor Dunn, Tomahawk last toured in support of 2013's Oddfellows before returning in 2021 with Tonic Immobility, which was released during the pandemic and never performed live.

Denison says of the upcoming outing: "In the spirit of the Olympics, Team Tomahawk has decided to rise up and go for the gold once again - also competing will be our cohorts the Melvins."

"This tour is a no brainer. I can't wait. A Melvins/Tomahawk trek will be a stone groove," says Buzz Osborne, who brings the Melvins out in their four-piece incarnation featuring Osborne, Dale Crover, Steven McDonald, and Coady Willis.

Tickets are on-sale this Friday, Feb. 27, at 10 a.m. local time, with an Ipecac pre-sale available Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 10 a.m. local time (password: Flashback).
