THE ANNOUNCEMENT
Periphery is taking their eighth album A Pale White Dot on a 20-city North American run this fall with a stacked bill that actually makes sense *‡. The tour kicks off October 22 in Philadelphia and wraps November 18 in Raleigh, hitting Toronto, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, and a bunch of cities that don’t usually get prog metal love *§. Album dropped May 15, so by October the material will be road-tested and tight ‡§.

WHY IT MATTERS
BUCKET LIST — Ne Obliviscaris doesn’t tour North America often enough, and pairing Australian prog death with Periphery’s tech precision is the kind of bill that doesn’t happen twice in the same cycle. Three different presale windows for a 20-date prog metal tour tells you Live Nation thinks this will actually move tickets in markets that usually get skipped.
