Starset Bring ‘Immersion: Part One’ Headline Tour to North American Audiences in 2018
Starset will carry over their banner year of 2017 into the New Year, kicking things off on the right foot with their biggest North American headlining tour to date. The group just announced a lengthy run that starts Jan. 28 in Charlotte, N.C., and wraps on March 16 in their hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
The trek has been dubbed "Immersion: Part One" and it will find the theatric rockers welcoming Palisades, Grabbitz and Year of the Locust on most dates. Starset have one of the more unique stage shows going. The group, who refer to the performances as demonstrations and have followed a space-themed narrative since their start, often have vocalist Dustin Bates playing from behind a keyboard that looks more like a command center, while his bandmates are dressed in space suits as they deliver their brand of melodically heavy rock.
Tickets for the run will go on sale this Friday (Dec. 8) and there are also VIP options available to Starset fans. Check their website for ticketing links. All of the dates and stops for the tour are listed below.
Starset have enjoyed a breakout year, with their single "Monster" becoming one of 2017's most-played rock songs and the Vessels album receiving plenty of accolades, including making Loudwire's 25 Best Hard Rock Albums of 2017 and delivering a great performance at the 2017 Loudwire Music Awards earlier this fall. The group has followed up "Monster" with "Satellite," which is also enjoying great success at rock radio.
The band also recently teamed up with Marvel Comics to release a Starset-themed graphic novel. The Prox Transmissions was released earlier this fall.
