Lords Of Acid, now featuring the new vocalist Gigi Ricci, are set to embark on a tour across North America with their ‘Make Acid Great Again’ tour together with Praga Khan. The upcoming Lords of Acid tour, starting on April 26 in the US and including several dates in Canada, marks the band’s return to the stage after the cancellation of their previous tour due to the global pandemic.

In a reaction the band says: “This tour embodies our resilience and dedication to our fans as we eagerly look forward to reconnecting with our audience and delivering unforgettable performances. It is a testament to the timeless power of music to inspire and unite, and we are greatly anticipating embarking on this journey together, spreading joy, excitement, and an unbridled spirit of creativity wherever our music takes us.”

Praga Khan (Maurice Engelen) and co-composer Oliver Adams are set to kick off each night of the tour. For Praga Khan as a band it will be the last time you will be able to catch them live.

Maurice Engelen explains: “As the opening act of the Lords of Acid tour, I will be performing for the last time in the USA. Two years ago, I bid farewell with a memorable series of sold-out concerts in Belgium. Now, for the final time, I will be performing our songs with my musical partner, Oliver Adams, in the USA and Canada. After 35 years of touring all over the world, I have decided to retire completely from live concerts as Praga Khan. On the MAGA tour, Oliver Adams and I will be performing some of our classics, as well as songs from the legendary Mortal Kombat album, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. This promises to be an unforgettable evening in honor of our legacy and the iconic Mortal Kombat soundtrack.”

The “Make Acid Great Again” tour will kick off on April 26, 2024 in Pomona, CA before hitting the Las Vegas Sick New World festival, then will traverse major cities across the country, including New York, San Francisco, Orlando, and Chicago. Tickets for the “Make Acid Great Again” tour are on sale now.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
