Baroness continue to add new tour dates in support of their latest album, STONE, with the U.S. getting a new round of Summer outings in support of the critically-acclaimed collection.
“We are gearing up for our first big summer tour in the U.S. in five years, and we’re incredibly exciting to be playing so many cities that we have never played before, and returning to so many that we haven’t spent nearly enough time visiting. Come out and join us! Till the wheels fall off…” – Baroness
Tickets for the newly announced U.S. dates are on-sale this Friday, April 26, at 10 a.m. local time. YourBaroness.com.

*-Festival appearance
Recorded in a remote cabin on the border of Pennsylvania and New York, Baroness’ self-produced STONE marked a shift for the band, with Baroness self-producing the 10-song album in a departure from their recent collections. At the time of the album announcement, John Baizley explained that “an important through line in Baroness is we don’t like to repeat ourselves. It’s all about the willingness to take risks. So we doubled down on continuously inventing to see where it takes us. I think this record is a good reflection of that. STONE is a lot more alive, more direct.”
Featured on recent covers of Kerrang!, Revolver, Rock Zone and Rock Tribune, critics and fans have embraced Baroness’ DIY approach. Pitchfork said “Baroness remain one of the most remarkable and capable bands at the intersection of heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelia,” while Metal Hammer noted “Baroness’ sixth studio album is another wonderful journey through myriad emotions.”
