Following the release of their critically acclaimed album, Birna, WARDRUNA have announced their highly-anticipated North American tour in support of the immersive album.
Tickets are on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. local time, with dates slated for Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, New York’s Beacon Theatre, and Toronto’s Massey Hall. Chelsea Wolfe will join as a special guest on all dates except Los Angeles. Ticket links can be found via Wardruna.com.
The North American tour expands upon WARDRUNA’s ongoing world tour, which has already seen the band perform at stunning historical and natural venues. New tour dates include Wardruna’s live debut in Spain and Portugal, as well as festival appearances at Germany’s Summer Breeze Open Air and Romania’s Rockstadt Extreme Fest. The group was previously announced as the headliner for this year’s Fire in the Mountains festival in Montana (July 25 – 27).
Wardruna is known for performing in breathtaking historical locations such as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus at the Acropolis in Athens, as well as surrounded by natural wonders such as the Red Rocks in Colorado. Their upcoming performances continue this tradition, offering audiences a profound experience of music in conversation with history and nature.
n Wroclaw, Poland, the group is set to perform at the historic, UNESCO world heritage site, The Centennial Hall. Wardruna have also recently announced a special concert at the Amphitheatre of Pompeii, a site of cultural significance in history and popular culture. Main composer states Einar Selvik: “We are genuinely honored to be invited to perform at the amphitheater in Pompei and it is hard to find the right words to express how special this feels. Not on only because of the historical and cultural significance of this rarely used venue but also the place it has in more recent cultural history with PINK FLOYD’s legendary performance at this very site. Needless to say, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity!”
