Godspeed You! Black Emperor global trek continues, cuz the party don't stop

After touring the United States and doing a few dates in Australia in support of their latest album ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend! (TMT Review) you would think Godspeed You! Black Emperor would take some time off. I mean, they’ve taken long breaks in the past, right?

Well, if you thought that you are wrong and deserve to be ridiculed. The Montreal collective is going to continue to take their guitar, effects pedals, and stage chairs on the road. In fact, they will be on many roads, in many countries, on multiple continents. Look for GY!BE to hit up Asia this spring and to show up at a bunch of European festivals this summer (plus a one-off show in France).

Just as a note, some of the official line-up schedules haven’t been announced for a couple of the festivals, so if you’re attending, keep an eye out for that. With the big gap between the Asian dates and the European dates, don’t be surprised if they make some more appearances in May, June, or July.
