Fuck. Yes.

Oh, hell yes!

Yes, we’ve known this was a possibility for sometime now. But today, the dates for Mastodon and Opeth’s “Heritage Hunter” tour were actually released. Of course, Ghost will also be on the bill, which rules.

The tour kicks off on April 4 in Portland, Maine, and visits more than 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up with a hometown show at Atlanta’s Masquerade Music Park on May 12.

“We’re excited to co-headline this tour with Opeth for whom we have great respect and admiration,” says Mastodon. “Having Ghost along as well will make this tour a special event.”

    both the shows i could go see (Toronto and Montreal) both close with Opeth, i wish one was Mastodon, it’d be cool to go to both and see different finishers. Either way this news is awesome!
