Summary

Les Claypool and Primus return to Chicago for a show at Northerly Island's Huntington Bank Pavilion in June. If that isn't enough for fans of progressive rock and stellar musicianship, the band will be joined by Mastodon, another long-running and much beloved band known for heavy and intense live shows. A rare opportunity to catch both live and outdoors in the Chicago summer, you won't want to miss this single night of music. 

What We Say

Described as "possibly the strangest top-10 band ever, and good for them,” Primus were formed in 1984 by singer and bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Todd Huth, Primus brought their unique sound – though that adjective hardly seems to cover their bizarre blend of funk and metal – to the world with their first album, “Suck On This”. Now, they’re nine albums in with “The Desaturating Seven,” and fans are loving it! Mastodon, on the other hand, have enjoyed developing their distinct sludge and doom metal edge since 2000. Their most recent record “Emperor Of Sand,” marks their seventh since their formation, and if the reviews are anything to go by, they just keep getting better and better as the years go by. "Metal needed this album,” NME stated. “It needed a record that’s doomy, heavy and magnificently multilayered, and Mastodon’s seventh album is exactly that.” High praise indeed, but totally justified!! Now’s your chance to hear all the new material from Primus and Mastodon live before your eyes! What are you waiting for?? Grab those tickets NOW!!
