Meet the Ipecac Recordings' Geek Show Tour 2023, featuring a lineup of Mr. Bungle, Melvins, and Spotlights, covering varied cities in the western US later this year.
"The Geek Show tours of the past were some of the best live show experiences I've ever had,” Mike Patton says of the reboot. “Hanging out with friends that are also some of my favorite musicians is a great way to spend a couple weeks. This iteration is a mindblower. You will want to be the first one there and the last to leave this party! The mighty Melvins and Spotlights will prove to be a challenge for Mr. Bungle to follow. I only wish we could take this package around the globe."Mr. Bungle has not played many of the cities on this tour in more than 20 years.
See the listing below. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time.
The reformed Mr. Bungle released The Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny Demo in 2020, with the Melvins celebrating their 40th anniversary and various recent highlights. Spotlights have recorded a new album, expected to release later this year as a follow-up to 2019's Love & Decay.
