Wowowowowowow! In a late Friday awesome news break, both Lambgoat and ThePRP are reporting that Lamb of God have cemented their summer touring plans with two killer bands opening: the mighty Dethklok and muthafuckin' Gojira. This is an A++WDBA bill with every band bringing something bone-crushing to the table. This tour is absolutely unmissable. F#ck, I would go if it was JUST Gojira and Lamb of God, or just Lamb of God and Dethklok, or even Dethklok and Gojira… BUT ALL THREE?!? Sign me up. Here is the full routing:

09/14 Los Angeles, CA – Gibson Amphitheater ?????

Besides the two Canadian metal fest dates, Ticketmaster/Live Nation have the one for Denver, CO up.  The price there is $52 (ticket of $32 something plus fees).  They may go on sale May 18th, but I don't have a confirmed date for that.

UPDATE- Added the two Knot Fest dates.  Also, the last two dates of Los Angeles & San Francisco are not on the Events list here on AS.  (Click Events top of the page to the far right).  Don't know if that is a change or the dates are still on.

Holkie, will you marry me?   

(Oh, wait. I'm already married..... But this info with which you have just provided us made me forget that for just a moment.)

Thank you, thank you, and oh, by the way, THANK   YOU!!!

[BloodHawk1991]

even if I get a chance to go I still have to drive 3 hours to get there and I have no car

[the-rebel-angel]

I will be DAMNED if I'm not going to this show. I'll go by myself if I have to. I must meet Brendon and tell him how much I respect him! Plus, uh, GOJIRA. And LAMB OF GOD. Yeah. I'm going.

[holkimcardie1]

I also noticed there are a few dates that have a longish break between them:

08/15 St. Louis, MO – Family Arena

*** 4 day break
08/19 Kansas City, MO – Midland Theater

08/26 Baltimore, MD – Pier 6 Pavilion

*** 3 day break
08/29 New York, NY – Roseland Ballroom

Now,, while I do not know MO, it can't be that long a trip between St. Louis and Kansas City.

And I do know the NYC Baltimore area.  I'm a science fiction fan and been to Balticon a few times driving down from Brooklyn with friends.  So I know it's only about a 4-5 hour drive.

Now, last tour in 2009, the NYC show sold out so they added another show the day before that- original show was Oct. 30th, added the 29th.  So it's mostly they are doing the breaks so they can add shows if needed.  Unless they have something else planned.

NO SAN DIEGO.....WAAAAAAH!!!!!!

P.S.: How is Holkie able to get away typing the F-word WITHOUT Adult Swim censoring it?????

CFO: The guitar riff sound effect...broke. Knubbler's fixing it at the recording room.

KNUBBLER: Shake it off....c'mon...shake it off!

[holkimcardie1]

LOL!  Well, a few things:

1) I'm a HELPeR.  I know I have some extra permissions, like posting pics for the wiki and other things.  So maybe some filters don't apply to HELPeRs.

2) Some words come and go in the filter

3) That part of the post is part of the copy-pasta I did from the site with the tour info.  So I didn't write it.  Never noticed that otherwised censored words come through uncensored when copypasta-ed.  Will edited so no one gets in trouble.

[MusicalMayhem]

Going to at least two shows! More if I can swing it!  So glad I moved to Phoenix! hahaha 

Any news on an on-sale date yet?

[holkimcardie1]

Not yet.  These aren't even confirmed dates yet.  We should know for sure this week with sale dates and prices. 

So far, the only dates on sale are the two Canadian fest dates.

[klokateer513]

SKWISGAAR: Cann's-Naa's-Daa's.....(Lustful)...Nell Fenwick....I's do's her!!!!

PICKLES: (Angry) Will sum-wum PLEEZE tell me....WOT IS THE NAYME OF DUDD-LEE DOO-RIGHT'S (Expletive censored by guitar riff) HORSE?!!!!

[holkimcardie1]

Well in fairness,  the guys are human and need some rest time.

Also, remember that most of them are artists with other commitments that may need to be worked around. So an extra day off here or there may also be a day of studio recording or personal appearances.

[SaintCervixCancer]

Color me blood-red excited. I'm willing to put up with Ticketmaster to see this show, especially since I've never seen Lamb of God or Gojira live. Probably haven't heard them, either.

[klokateer513]

TOKI: (Usual confusion) Go-Jirr-rah ams commings withs Deth's Klok? Is Toki ams Skwis's Gaar goings to LEARNS how's to DRIVE whiles Deth's Klok ams on tour?

[klokateer513]

TOKI: (Happy; excited) Lamb's of's God's...WOW-WEE! Toki ams has PET while's Deth's Klok ams on tour...(Suddenly gets scared)...UNLESS....(Freaks out)....Lamb can be...DINNER!!!! (Nathan-like roar) NOOOOOOOOOOOOO'S!!!!!

[MusicalMayhem]

*panic*  Is there a password I need for pre-sale cause I AM NOT waiting for general on-sale.  HOLKI HELP! hahaha

[holkimcardie1]

Haven't seen anything yet.

[cybersybil]

Password for some Canadian dates is available via the promoter's FB events pages - it's "wallofmetal" but may vary by venue/promo company.

[holkimcardie1]

Are they for the Heavy TO & Heavy MTL?  Then those are the festival dates.

[cybersybil]

No, the western Canada dates - Heavy TO has been on sale for about a month.

[cybersybil]

I clicked through a few of the US dates on Ticketmaster.

NY: Live Nation Presale

Start: Wed, 05/16/12 10:00 AM EDT
End: Thu, 05/17/12 10:00 PM EDT

Fan Presale

Start: Sat, 05/12/12 10:00 AM EDT
End: Sat, 05/12/12 10:00 PM EDT

No idea what the fan presale was, since the dates were embargoed until Sunday.

Pittsburgh: PromoWest Presale

Start: Wed, 05/16/12 10:00 AM EDT
End: Thu, 05/17/12 10:00 PM EDT

Orlando: Hard Rock/WJRR Presale

Start: Thu, 05/17/12 10:00 AM EDT
End: Thu, 05/17/12 10:00 PM EDT

So upshot: Go to ticketmaster.com, find your venue, click on "Onsale Dates and Times" in the upper right and see who's offering the presale when. 

[gojiberrie]

bummed about san diego myself. Looks like the closest place beside that is phoenix. Be there with bells on

[holkimcardie1]

Check the date on the "fan pre-sale" again.  That was last Sunday.  Still haven't seen a pre-sale password anywhere.

But someone on eBay is selling the password for a few dates.  Supposedly a different one for each date. 

[cybersybil]

I just copied and pasted what was on the Ticketmaster site.  ::shrug:: 

If you're planning on going to a LiveNation show, I'd download the LiveNation mobile app, too:
