Municipal Waste have announced the 2024 “Brainsqueeze” North American tour.
Ghoul, Necrot, and Dead Heat will provide support for the outing, which runs from February 15th in Washington, D.C., through March 16th in Richmond, Virginia — a homecoming show for Municipal Waste.
A Live Nation pre-sale starts Wednesday (November 8th) at 10 a.m. local time for select dates using the code BACKSTAGE, while general ticket sales start Friday (November 10th) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Fans can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out dates via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
Municipal Waste will be out in support of their latest album, 2022’s Electrified Brain, but the upcoming jaunt will also commemorate the 21st anniversary of the crossover-thrash band’s debut album Waste ‘Em All, released back in 2003. Founding frontman Tony Foresta and company have been steady on the circuit ever since, maintaining a reputation as road dogs for their constant touring.
Remarked Foresta in a press statement:
“We don’t do headlining runs in the states as often as we should. So this time, in order to celebrate the 21-year anniversary of our first album Waste ‘Em All, we wanted to do it with bands and people that we consider our family and friends.
“Back in the day, we had a tradition that our 6th band member Scotty created in Oakland called ‘Brain Squeeze.’ It was a very fun (but short-lived) tradition that brought together people from all over the world in the small scene we built. Those events were very dear to us and we felt it needed to come back in one way or another.
“21 is a big birthday for all of us…so in order to celebrate Waste ‘Em All‘s big one, we thought it would be best to bring the Brain Squeeze to you! We couldn’t be more excited to have Ghoul, Necrot, and Dead Heat back on the road with us — as well as a few regional surprises along the way. This is going to be a good one. See you soon!”
