Barrie stoner rock band AAWKS and Montreal-based Sons of Arrakis will come together to share the stage on a joint tour kicking off on January 19.
Dubbed the Interprovincial Wormhole Tourm in a nod to the groups' shared love for all things psychedelic and fantasy, the eight-date tour will stop at five venues in Ontario and finish with three in Quebec. These include the cities where both bands are based, with dates at the Queens Nightclub in Barrie (January 22) and Turbo Haus in Montreal (March 9), in addition to shows in Oshawa, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City and Sherbrooke.
Various performers will join the two groups along the way, including Veinduze, who are playing the tour's opening show in their hometown of Oshawa, "Doom-esque" group Ethereal Tomb in Barrie, and others. See the full list of dates and show posters below.
Tickets for the tour's Ontario shows are on sale now and can be found at the Pale Horse Promotions Facebook page.
AAWKS will tour behind songs from their 2022 album Heavy on the Cosmic and Sons of Arrakis will be playing from their debut album, Volume I.
