Primus has relaunched their A Tribute to Kings tour to 2021 after it was postponed twice in 2020. Following the January death of Neil Peart (which seems like ages ago), Primus wanted to pay respects to one of their primary influences as the cover Rush’s 1977 LP A Farewell to Kings. Special guests for the 2021 outing will include Wolfmother, The Sword and Battles. Les Claypool sent the following message out on Friday.
“Third time is the charm…we’ve postponed this Tribute to King’s tour twice now. Once because we opted to help send Slayer on their way into retirement and once because mother nature decided to slap us all into isolation with a nasty virus. This time I will get to go out there and get my “Geddy on”. I’ve got my Ricky shined up and have been practicing my Moog licks. 2020 has proven to be one nasty kick to the crotch on many levels. This nation is divided beyond anything I’ve ever seen; from who’s wearing masks or not to who’s treating folks with common dignity…or not. Let’s hope 2021 will resolve us all into some form of unity. As far as touring, it will be nice to be back in the saddle again, see y’all next summer…”Geddy up!” – Les Claypool
