Periphery, whose recently released their sixth studio album, “Periphery V: Djent is Not a Genre”, received worldwide praise, have slated their first two headlining performances of 2023: November 4th at House of Blues in Anaheim, California and November 18th, 2023, at The Palladium in Worcester, Mass.
The pair of dates also feature the band’s hand-picked selection of artists, lending a festival feel to the two special evenings. The slate of performers for the California date include Plini, Archspire, Thomas Giles, and Mike Dawes. The Massachusetts performance sees Periphery joined by Plini, Archspire, Thank You Scientist, and Mike Dawes.
“Now that ‘Periphery V’ has been released and the band has started touring again, we’ve been planning some unforgettable nights of music”, explains Jake Bowen. “It’s so cool to look at this line-up and see such diversity in one show, and we can’t wait to hit the stage with these bands”.
Tickets for both shows are on-sale this Friday, June 16th, at 10 am local time, with an artist pre-sale slated for tomorrow (additional details available here).
Periphery released “Periphery V: Djent is Not a Genre” in March. Metal Hammer said the 9-song album proves “why they’re miles ahead of their peers”, going on to say “Periphery continue to push boundaries”. Guitar World described the self-produced collection is “their most wildly ambitious record yet”, and Metal Injection described the band as “torchbearers for the genre”.
Periphery is Jake Bowen (guitar), Matt Halpern (drums), Mark Holcomb (guitar), Misha Mansoor (guitar), and Spencer Sotelo (vocals). The D.C.-born band have released six albums since 2010: “Periphery” (2010), “Periphery II: This Time It’s Personal” (2012), the two part Juggernaut: “Alpha and Juggernaut: Omega” (2015), “Periphery III: Select Difficultyv (2016), “Periphery IV: Hail Stan” (2019) and “Periphery V: Djent is Not a Genre” (2023). Over their career they have received two GRAMMY-Award nominations and have graced the covers of several magazines, including Guitar World, Revolver, Modern Drummer, and Bass Player. The band continues to explore avenues outside of their core work with Periphery, both with numerous side projects (Bulb, Haunted Shores, Four Seconds Ago, King Mothership, etc.), partnerships with various instrument companies, the creation of GetGood Drums (software libraries featuring drum and guitar packs), and an in-person camping experience with clinics (Periphery Summer Jam).
