Lordi – North American Tour Dates Released

Finland’s monster rock n’ roll band LORDI, who will release The Arockalypse March 20th, 2007 on The End Records, have announced several dates of their upcoming inaugural tour of North America.

The ‘monster invasion’ will start April 20th, 2007 in Anaheim, California at House of Blues and end with a two-night stint at the Bamboozle music festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

On the topic of being excited to tour in North America for the first time, frontman Mr. Lordi says, “Yeah of course. That goes without saying. I’m really anxious to see how the audiences are gonna react to us. From our point of view touring the States is like ‘coming home.’ I know it sounds weird for a Finnish band to say that but we are often described as the ‘most American band’ in Finland. [laughs] You see all of our influences, mostly musical and visual, come from the States, so… we’re keeping our fingers crossed.”

The following confirmed dates and venues are:

April 20 – Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues
April 21 – Hollywood, CA @ Avalon
April 22 – San Francisco, CA @ Slims
April 24 – Denver, CO @ Gothic Theatre
