IMMORTAL BIRD Announce US Headline Tour Dates, Festival Shows

Chicago’s Immortal Bird has confirmed the details of their upcoming headlining fall takeover. The band’s latest journey – which follows their recent and successful summer excursion — will commence on October 12th in Denver crumbling the stages of over a dozen venues through nine states including an appearance at this year’s Southwest Terror Fest in Tucson, Arizona. Immortal Bird will be joined by Colombian Necktie and Secrets Of The Sky on select dates. As a precursor to the tour, the band will make an appearance at Shadow Woods Metal Fest later this month.
 
Vocalist Rae Amitay comments: “Our East Coast tour was our first run of dates since Empress/Abscess was released and we had a blast. Louisville Deathfest and Death To False Metal Fest were awesome and we can’t wait to get out there again for Shadow Woods Metal Fest in September, as well as a more extensive West Coast tour in October. During the latter we’ll be playing Southwest Terror Fest before we’re joined for about a week by our pals in Secrets Of The Sky. We’ll also be visiting several new cities for the first time. Lots to be stoked about!”
