Things continue going up and up for the explosive Escuela Grind. After touring with some huge names and getting to take their show across the pond for the first time, they’re heading back to Europe — as headliners.
Announced earlier today, the extreme metal band will receive top billing in the old world after showing off what they’ve got as the supporting act for Napalm Death. The tour will kick off in Nürnberg, Germany on September 6 and come to an end in Vallet, France on September 26 for the Muscadeath Festival.
Vocalist Katerina Economou said the band was beyond excited to get to experience such a major milestone, with this being their second chance to prove their mettle to European audiences this year.
“To be able to return to Europe for a headlining tour, and to tour Europe twice in one year, are amazing achievements for us. We had such a blast opening for Napalm Death earlier this year, and we met many new fans, so we’re extra excited to return and play a more extensive and personal set.”
While this headlining opportunity is huge, it’s not the only touring they’ve got lined up. Not only are they currently out on the road supporting The Acacia Strain, but they’ve also got dates lined up to support Baroness this October.
