Gojira have announced a 2021 U.S. fall headlining tour, set to kick off October 11th in Salt Lake City. Kentucky hardcore band Knocked Loose and New Zealand thrashers Alien Weaponry will provide support on the October outing.
The run of fall shows will come right after Gojira play the Aftershock Festival on October 9th in Sacramento, California. The band will head across the Midwest and South into Florida before making its way to upstate New York, and eventually wrapping up October 29th in Cleveland, Ohio.
The dates also follow the French metal band’s trek in support of Deftones that runs from August through September. That tour was previously postponed due to the pandemic, with Deftones recently confirming that the shows were officially on for this summer. Gojira will also play two headlining shows in September, during off days on the Deftones outing. Those gigs won’t include Knocked Loose and Alien Weoponry.

Gojira’s tour announcement comes just a few days after Friday’s release of their seventh album, Fortitude, which marks the band’s first LP in five years.
As we remarked in our album review, Gojira embrace their melodic side on Fortitude, but retain the signature heaviness and progressive technicality of their past work. Thankfully, it appears that fans will be able to see the band perform the new songs in a headlining capacity in 2021.
