Killing Joke Bring <i>Absolute Dissent</i> Back to North America for Canada/U.S. Tour

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Mar 30, 2011

Late last year, legendary UK post-punks Killing Joke unleashed the awesome Absolute Dissent, the first album to feature the group's original lineup since 1982's Revelations. In December, the troupe took to our shores, treating fans to gigs that celebrated both the new album and their brilliant back catalogue. It looks as if Killing Joke must have had a blast, as they have announced they are returning for another round of dates.

The 13-date tour kicks off in Canada at the Starlite Room in Edmonton and heads off to Calgary and Vancouver before heading down to the U.S. The trip wraps up in Miami on June 6. You can check out the dates below.

If you're looking to up the ante of your concert experience, Killing Joke will also be offering a special meet-and-greet package for $50. Included in the package is your ticket, a copy of Absolute Dissent and poster. Sounds like a pretty decent deal. Check out the details here.
