Gorgon City and Rudimental are two of the most exciting newer UK electronic acts that bring live elements into their performances that have spanned the theaters, clubs and festivals worldwide. Now the two groups have announced a joint co-headlining live tour across the United States.
The tour will only be five dates long, but it will hit some of the bigger markets across the United States. Four of the shows will be live and one in San Diego will be all DJ sets because of the stage size, which seems like an odd choice they would do that venue and that city for a rare, five date live tour, but there had to be more considerations involved.
The tour will kick off on May 18 in New York City in Central Park at Summerstage and then over the next week go back inside to the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, the Foundry SLS in Las Vegas, San Diego and then finish in Oakland at the Fox Theater.
Rudimental are a live act unless noted otherwise. They bring out 11 performers including the four of them. On their tours they bring along drummers, guitarists, singers and a horn section to fill out the rich and bold sounds on their records.
Gorgon City when they tour live find founding members Kye Gibbon and Matt Robson-Scott on keys and synths, while also tabbing singers and a drummer to bring their powerful bass lines to life.
Tickets will become available on their new website here this Friday at 12 p.m. EST. See the full list of tour dates below.
