Signs Of The Swarm and Veil Of Maya
Signs Of The Swarm and Veil Of Maya will be in the UK in October for a co-headline tour!
Support will come from Varials and To The Grave!
David Simonich from Signs Of The Swarm said: “We’re pumped to do a proper co-headlining tour in Europe and the UK after summer 2023’s awesome co-headlining mainland shows between festivals with Humanity’s Last Breath and our UK headliners with Mental Cruelty and Harbinger.
“We’ve all listened to Veil of Maya for AGES, so to be billed beside them is an honour! Varials are a fellow Pennsylvania band, so we’ve been pals for quite a while and their moshy metalcore is going to be a nice complement to all the deathcore. To the Grave ripped North America with us and Carnifex, then after that lineup finished they joined us up the west coast and across Canada, so it’s going to be great to conquer another part of the world with them.
“This tour is truly stacked, and we’re excited to add another side to the already-iconic Faces of Death brand!”
VEIL OF MAYA‘s Marc Okubo adds: “We are so excited to be a part of the Faces of Death tour! We have always wanted to tour with these bands and to bring our first time together to Europe and UK is extra special!”

Kris Barras Band
Kris Barras Band will play a special one-off show in Dover next month to try and save a vital music venue.
The Booking Hall in Dover is under threat of permanent closure – which would leave the town without a music venue.
The venue’s founder Stuart Cameron and Music Venues Trust are crowdfunding to try and buy the freehold and it is hoped this show will be able to help.
Kris said: “Grassroots music venues need our support more than ever. I was really sad to hear the news of The Booking Hall in Dover being under threat of closure. We had a blast doing a sweaty, sell-out show there last year on the ‘My Parade’ Tour. SOOOOOOO….we’ve decided to play a special one-off show there and help shine a light on the whole situation. I don’t want to see this place go under and I hope you don’t either, so come along and support an awesome grass-roots music venue!”
Date:
June 2024
28 – Dover, The Booking Hall
