Black Tusk Announce First Ever Australian Tour

Give 'em an Aussie welcome

More Black Tusk Black Tusk

American south sludge metal act Black Tusk have announced their very first tour of the antipodes this August, with their latest album Pillars Of Ash to showcase to Australian fans.

The trio have had a rough few years with the loss of their bassist Jonathan Athon in 2014. Pillars Of Ash was the last album recorded with Athon and as such serves as a memorial for their bandmate. 

The trio will play a show in Auckland before taking to two shows in Melbourne on August 4 and 5, then Sydney on August 6 and Brisbane on August 7.
