The Melvins Announce 2025 Spring Break Tour

12-16-2024

(Speakeasy) The Melvins, who only recently announced a staggering number of U.S. tour dates for 2025, have slated a March trek across the Golden State, with the Los Angeles-based outfit playing six shows across California, dubbed the "Spring Break" Tour.

Tickets for the newly announced dates are on-sale this Friday at 10 a.m. pacific time, with an artist pre-sale (code: SPRINGBREAK!) starting on Wednesday at 10 a.m. pacific. CNTS and Desslok open on all dates. Buzz Osborne shared: "California! Here we go! There's no better time to crisscross the state. Let's do it!"

The trek sees the Melvins touring as a four-piece with Dale Crover returning after a medical emergency sidelined him in 2023. Joining Crover behind the kit is Big Business' Coady Willis joining Crover for a rare double-drum extravaganza.

The Melvins' previously announced "Savage Imperial Death March Part II" sees the addition of two dates: April 12 at Swan Dive in Las Vegas and May 11 at Globe Iron in Cleveland. Tickets for the full run of "Death March" dates are on-sale now. Openers include Weedeater (April 4-May 5), Titan To Tachyons featuring Mr. Bungle's Trevor Dunn (May 7- 20), The Hard-Ons with Jerry A (May 22-June 7), and Shane Embury's Dark Sky Burial, who will perform on all dates.
