You know how when Jethro Tull plays live, Ian Anderson rips these crazy-ass flute solos summoned straight out of the most gnarly of medieval times, allowing the words "incendiary" and "flute" to intermingle in the same sentence? That's kinda what a Dungen live show is like, except Gustav Ejstes stands on both legs. Well, now you too have the opportunity to see Sweden's finest in stoner rock as they share the bill with an assortment of other excellent artists.
Dungen kick off the tour supporting Pitchfork's favorite bearded bros, Fleet Foxes, for their shows in the Great White North. Afterwards, Dungen commandeers the ship and headlines the rest of the tour, taking along the unequivocally excellent Woods and Kurt Vile.
