Russian Circles announce Spring 2022 European tour dates, return to Portugal scheduled for April

A precise and infallible organism with absolutely no signs of wear and tear, Russian Circles have been trodding a path for over fifteen years that has made them an essential presence in any compendium of heavy instrumental music. Owners of an unmistakable sonic identity, a result of the marriage between Brian Cook’s seismic bass groove, Dave Turncrantz’s dazzling drum mastery and the labyrinthine gallop of Mike Sullivan’s guitar, the Chicago trio will finally return to Portugal for two dates in promotion of Blood Year, their latest chapter in a collection already packed with classics such as Station, Geneva, Memorial or Guidance. Now with rescheduled dates due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Russian Circles will visit the Hard Club, in Porto, on April 29th and the LAV, in Lisbon, on April 30th. Tickets for both shows are available for 25 euros and can be purchased online via See Tickets. But wait, there’s more: the North American masters of instrumental post-rock have also announced the schedule of their entire European trek for next Spring. Check out all the dates below.
