Suicide Silence have announced the first set of dates for their Virtual World Tour, which include unique sets, exclusive merchandise and custom experiences in each part of the world.
“With touring conditions as they are we want to give these local metal communities a place to come together and experience a new type of Suicide Silence show,” the band comments. “The ability for us to schedule a performance anywhere around the world with each market’s time zone in mind will be a huge positive. We’ll be able to play for places we’ve only been to once twice or maybe never before and no one other than them will ever get to see that particular performance. While we plan to begin with markets where we had to cancel or postpone recent shows we’ll certainly keep all market requests in mind and add shows around the globe accordingly. Of course once we’re able to properly tour without extreme audience restrictions we’ll book as many shows as physically possible. Until then we’ll be offering up a variety of unique virtual experiences and we can’t wait for this all to kick off!”
The band will perform virtual shows throughout July with a 39-date Virtual World Tour, that spans fourteen countries and five continents. Tickets for the shows will be geo-gated within a reasonable radius, so that only those in the general area can view a particular stream. Each geo-gated stream will be approximately an hour and a half in length, featuring a professionally filmed multi-camera live set, along with an extensive Q&A at the end of each performance.
Those who purchase tickets will have access to an exclusive merch collection that includes an official tour shirt specifically for their market, as well as a number of other items that will never be sold elsewhere. The band will also be sending a 15% off discount code to every person who purchases a ticket within the first week that their market is on sale, that can be used on the exclusive items as well as all merch on the band’s webstore (HERE) throughout July.
