Baroness playing ‘Red’ & ‘Blue’ albums on spring tour
Baroness will revisit their first two albums on an East Coast/Midwest tour this spring.
Baroness capped off 2024 by reaching back to their early days and playing two Philly shows with setlists entirely made up of songs from their first two albums, 2007’s Red Album and 2009’s Blue Record, and now they’ll do the same across a full Midwest/East Coast tour this spring. John Baizley says:
In December, for our annual Philly pre-holiday show, we performed our first two full length albums: Red and Blue. It was a great experience, unearthing the deeper cuts from those records that had faded from our setlist and it offered a rare opportunity to play some of those songs for the first time ever outside the studio. While I’ve personally never been overly interested in the pure nostalgia of past records, we’ve always found it illuminating to bridge the gap between present and past Baroness by learning and updating/rearranging our earliest material. After the overwhelming and positive response from the Philadelphia shows (and while we’re busy writing our next record) we’re looking forward to taking Red and Blue on the road and sharing the experience with old and new friends alike.
The Red & Blue Tour kicks off on May 7 in Baltimore, followed by a two-night stand in Brooklyn at The Meadows on May 8 & 9. Tickets for all shows go on sale Friday (2/7) at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
Baroness are also promising to have exclusive tour-only vinyl with new artwork by John Baizley for the run, along with Red and Blue themed merch.
