The Melvins Announce Tour(s)

The Melvins, who recently announced a staggering number of U.S. tour dates for 2025, have slated a March trek across the Golden State. The Los Angeles-based outfit will play six shows across California, dubbed the “Spring Break” Tour.

Tickets for the newly announced dates are on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. Pacific time, with an artist pre-sale (code: SPRINGBREAK!) starting on Wednesday at 10 a.m. Pacific. CNTS and Desslok open on all dates.

Buzz Osborne shared: “California! Here we go! There’s no better time to crisscross the state. Let’s do it!”

The trek sees the Melvins touring as a four-piece with Dale Crover returning after a medical emergency sidelined him in 2023. Joining Crover behind the kit is Big Business’ Coady Willis joining Crover for a rare double-drum extravaganza.

The Melvins’ previously announced “Savage Imperial Death March Part II” sees the addition of two dates: April 12 at Swan Dive in Las Vegas and May 11 at Globe Iron in Cleveland. Tickets for the full run of “Death March” dates are on sale now. Openers include Weedeater (April 4-May 5), Titan To Tachyons featuring Mr. Bungle’s Trevor Dunn  (May 7- 20), The Hard-Ons with Jerry A (May 22-June 7), and Shane Embury’s Dark Sky Burial, who will perform on all dates.
