āWest Coast, weāre bringing the RED & BLUE Tour in your direction this September with our friends and tour mates, Weedeater,ā John Baizley shares. āThe first leg of the tour through the Northeast was such a blast that we knew we may have to add a second leg. Throughout the tour, we read your messages and saw all of your comments asking for it – so here it is: RED & BLUE ā Part II. We canāt wait to see you again. Weāll be playing through the entirety of both records. Get yourselves ready for 90+ minutes of intense rock music.ā
From the psychedelic-laden āIsakā to the ethereal melodies of āThe Sweetest Curse,ā these special evenings offer fans a rare chance to see the Savannah-born outfit performing songs that are seldom performed live.
Tickets are on sale this Friday, July 11 at 10 a.m. local time viaĀ YourBaroness.com.
The tour will feature a variety of exclusive tour-only vinyl with newly crafted John Baizley artwork, as well as a selection ofĀ RedĀ andĀ BlueĀ themed merchandise.
The Red Album (2007) and Blue Record (2009) laid the foundation for what would become Baronessā more than 20-year career. These two albums introduced the bandās distinctive style, combining crushing heaviness with melodic intricacy, and paved the way for the ambitious scope of Yellow & Green, the GRAMMY-nominated Purple, the grandeur of Gold & Grey, and the expansive creativity of STONE.
The Red & Blue Tour – Part II dates:
Founded in 2003, Baroness is John Baizley (vocals/guitar), Gina Gleason (guitar), Nick Jost (bass) and Sebastian Thomson (drums).

Throughout their career, theyāve garnered widespread acclaim, with the bandās albums regularly featured on year-end best of lists, and 2017 seeing their first GRAMMYĀ®Ā nomination.
On their most recent album,Ā STONE, PitchforkĀ said they āremain one of the most remarkable and capable bands at the intersection of heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelia.āĀ Brooklyn VeganĀ described the 10-song collection as āBaroness at their most alive and direct,ā whileĀ RevolverĀ added: āSTONEā¦ is a wild ride, full of triumphant sludge metal, and soaring, shoegazing progressive rock.ā
