Primus
will pay homage to prog-rock legends
Rush
this summer with
A Tribute to Kings
, a cross-country tour that will feature the Bay Area trio playing Rush’s classic 1977 album
A Farewell to Kings
in its entirety, in addition to their own music.
A Tribute to Kings
kicks off in May and spans over 40 dates through August, including a stop in
Cincinnati, OH
at
PNC Pavilion on Tuesday, June 9th
.
Wolfmother
will open the entire tour with additional support from
The Sword.
“A little over one year ago, Ler Lalonde and I started kicking the idea around of Primus performing a series of shows featuring an iconic Rush album from our youth,” says bandleader
Les Claypool
. “Being that
A Farewell to Kings
was the first Rush record I ever heard, and that it contains my all-time favorite Rush tune, “Cygnus X1,” the choice narrowed quickly. Years ago I had done something similar with Colonel Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, when we covered Pink Floyd’s
Animals
in its entirety. It was an insane amount of work, but ended up being one of the most enjoyable live endeavors I’ve ever done. Dubbing the tour ‘Primus: A Tribute to Kings,’ it was originally scheduled to be performed in the Fall of 2019 but, when we were asked to support Slayer on their Final Campaign, the ‘Tribute to Kings’ tour was postponed.
Geddy, Alex and Neil had been superheroes to Larry, Herb and I in our teens, so when we all became pals while touring together in the early ’90s, we were pretty delighted; partially because of the musical geek-out factor but mostly because the three guys whom we had admired so much from afar, turned out to be truly great, down-to-earth humans, and like us, a tad eccentric.
The ‘Tribute to Kings’ tour will be just as it is implied, a respectful and loving tribute to three spectacular musicians, songwriters, legends and friends.”
