The Sword are celebrating the 15th anniversary of their Warp Riders album with a Summer 2025 US tour that will see the reunited Austin band performing the LP in its entirety.
The route runs mostly along the West Coast, kicking off August 17th in Phoenix and wrapping up August 30th in Los Angeles. Major stops on the 12-date trek include Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Diego, with Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and Pink Fuzz supporting all dates.
Tickets are available via local outlets, and you can find more information via The Sword’s website. 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.

“This is probably the only chance people will have to see us perform the entire album, so don’t miss out!” commented singer/guitarist JD Cronise in a press release.
Cronise previously teased the Warp Riders tour back in February when The Sword announced a pair of reunion shows in Texas. At the time, Cronise said more gigs were on the way — now that the band was back for good — including this run surrounding the anniversary of Warp Riders, a modern stoner-rock classic that was recently reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day.
