Dance Gavin Dance, who already celebrate a massive 868 thousand sales in the US alone from their catalogue and over 650 million streams will release 'Afterburner' on Friday, April 24via Rise Records. The LP was produced by the group's frequent collaborator, Kris Crummett,(Issues, Sleeping With Sirens, Mayday Parade) and Drew Fulk a.k.a. WZRD BLD (Lil Wayne, Motionless in White, Bad Wolves). The album is a landmark mission statement that encompasses DGD energy past, present, and future. It is a killer and dynamic demonstration of what the quintet does best, and is equal parts aggressive, melodic, and unrestrained.
Pre-order the new record 'Afterburner' HERE.Dance Gavin Dance had just launched their massive North American headline tour, set to play their biggest venues to date when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out. These dates have been rescheduled for August & September 2020. This follows the band's entirely sold out North American headliner in 2019, where they sold over 90k tickets in one year alone. The remaining tickets for the current headline tour can be purchased HERE. For a full list, see below.
On 12th September, Dance Gavin Dance will return home to Sacramento for Swanfest, the one-day festival headlined and curated by the band at Papa Murphy's Park. Labelmates Crown The Empire and Issues, along with Animals As Leaders, Knocked Loose, Movements, Fall Of Troy, I See Stars, Veil Of Maya, Hail The Sun, Covet, Tillie, Royal Coda, Eidola, and Wolf & Bear will join DGD on this year's lineup. The first ever Swanfest took place last year at the City National Grove of Anaheim, CA, which proved to be a phenomenal sell-out success, a rare feat for a festival in its first year. "With last year's Swanfest selling out in Southern California, it only made sense for us to bring this year's show to our hometown in Sacramento. We are thrilled to have the chance to headline our biggest venue in the very city where it all began," says Will Swan. Tickets and VIP packages for Swanfest 2020 are on sale now HERE.
