DANCE GAVIN DANCE

(continued from previous page)

Speaking on today’s announcement, Dance Gavin Dance drummer, Matt Mingus shares:

“It brings us great pleasure to announce The Jackpot Juicer US Tour 2023. This monster of a tour will be coming to a city near you this Summer and Fall.

We are really excited about the bands from all over the world that will be joining us on the road. Those artist will include SIM from Japan. Then we have Rain City Drive from here at home in the US. And last but not least, Within Destruction from Europe/Taiwan.

The setlist we are planning will consist of a hefty amount of songs from Jackpot Juicer. With tracks from the album we have never performed live before. As well as a number of our popular songs you have all grown to appreciate over the years. We are hoping this mixture of songs will make for an enjoyable performance for both old and new fans a like.

This super eclectic mix of music will surely make for an awesome evening you won’t want to miss out on. We are all really looking forward to seeing your smiling faces from the stage and can’t wait to put on a great show for you all.”

Beginning at the end of August, “The Jackpot Juicer US Tour” will kick off in Tempe on August 24th and travel throughout 26 further cities ending in Detroit at the Ma- sonic Temple Theatre on October 4th. Fans can also see Dance Gavin Dance at upcoming US festivals, including the band’s very own oneday festival, Swanfest, on October 1st. This year’s Swanfest marks the first ever East Coast edition, which will feature a special extended set from the band as well as performances from Periphery, Set It Off, SiM, Rain City Drive, Stolas, Within Destruction, Body Thief and Dwellings. Full 2023 routing below.

Rejecting tired formulas at every step, Dance Gavin Dance merge progressive rock and posthardcore with thick groove, brilliantly combining experimental music with hooks and a warped sense of humor. The group has amassed over 1.6 billion global streams, and 1.4 million album equivalent units sold across their catalog in the US alone. With hundreds of thousands of rabid fans engaged with Dance Gavin Dance on socials and their very own festival event, Swanfest, which sold out both its inaugural edition in 2019 and its triumphant, post-pandemic return in 2022 in the band’s hometown of Sacramento last April and is now set to hit the East Coast for the first time, it all amounts to a full force band facing a mainstream that has overlooked them for too long.

As the undeniable statistics keep mounting up, the fact becomes more and more clear that Dance Gavin Dance are becoming one of this generation’s most popular and enduring forces from the world of heavy music. As Pollstar put it “Sacramento, Calif.-based Dance Gavin Dance is not just any band.”
