Nothing but good vibez all around.
Godsmack have officially announced their “Vibez Tour”, set to kick off in February 2024. The New England-based multi-platinum hard rockers will be transforming their thunderous pyro-filled amphitheater rock show into a more intimate experience. The band is set to deliver a series of intimate evenings featuring acoustic/electric performances and untold stories in theatres across North America. The first leg is scheduled to begin on February 15 in Catoosa, Oklahoma, while the second leg will kick off April 9 in Valley Center, California.
On that second leg, Godsmack will stroll through the Orpheum Theater in Madison on April 22nd. There is a presale that began today (Nov. 29) that will run through the week with general on sale happening on Friday, December 1st at 10AM.
In a recent interview, Godsmack frontman Sully Erna talked about what the tour was going to look/sound like, clarifying that it’s not STRICTLY an acoustic tour.
“Let me just make this clear — it’s not strictly an acoustic tour, but it is the acoustic vibe. So we’re going to do a ‘vibez’ tour; that’s what I think we’re even going to call it: the ‘Vibez’ tour. And what it is, is it’s gonna be Godsmack stripped down in theater settings. We’re gonna bring a couple of additional musicians with us to fill it up — a keyboard player and an extra guitar player — and we’re gonna not only play what we feel is the best of the Godsmack songs that are translated well acoustically or like in a more vibey version — the ‘Voodoo’s, the ‘Serenity’s, ‘Growing Old’ off the new record, the ballad ‘Truth’, ‘Under Your Scars’, all those kinds of songs. But we’re also gonna blend in some really cool covers. We’re talking about doing things like ‘No Quarter’ by [Led] Zeppelin and doing some Pink Floyd and really take people kind of on a musical journey and hybrid kind of what I did with the solo thing and with Godsmack and just make it a really cool evening of music.”
Godsmack is HOT off the release of what they say will be their final studio album, Lighting Up The Sky. Off that record fans heard hits like “Soul On Fire”, and Godsmack’s 12th No. 1 hit at rock radio, “Surrender”.
