Voivod have announced the second leg of their 2016 North American tour.
They hit the road last month in support of their five-track Post Society EP, which was released in February via Century Media, and included a cover of Hawkwind classic Silver Machine.
The latest run of dates kicks off in Dallas on May 19 and drummer Michel ‘Away’ Langevin reports they’ll mix up the set they played on the original trek.
He says: “After an exciting North American east coast tour with Vektor, Eight Bells and Black Fast, we are thrilled to tour the west coast of USA and across Canada with King Parrot and Child Bite.
“We have updated the setlist, so be ready for a few classics mixed with new songs from the Post Society EP. In the meantime, well…we’re still working hard on the next album.”
The band’s Denis ‘Snake’ Belanger revealed late last year that the follow-up to 2013’s Target Earth should arrive sometime in 2016.
He said: “Voivod has always done different things each time. It has its own signature. The new bass player Rocky, aka Dominique Laroche, brought new elements to it. It’s different from Target Earth but it’s still Voivod.”
