Electronic provocateurs\u00a0LORDS OF ACID<\/strong>\u00a0return to the stage on April 25 with the\u00a0“Cheeky Freaky Tour”<\/strong>. The headlining tour marks a new chapter for the iconic act and delivers an uncompromising live show that remains true to the band’s recognizable aesthetic and provocative character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour \u2014 a high-voltage, multi-artist spectacle \u2014 will visit 29 cities across the United States, from coast to coast, and includes both headline club shows and festival appearances, among them Sick New World<\/strong> (April 25, Las Vegas) and Ritual Noize Fest<\/strong> (May 2, Denver). Each performance is designed as an intense and immersive experience, rooted in the long live history of LORDS OF ACID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material,” says Praga Khan<\/strong>, founder and creative force behind LORDS OF ACID<\/strong>. “A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky Freaky Tour’<\/strong> ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Cheeky Freaky Tour”<\/strong> is not a nostalgic look back, but a reaffirmation of everything LORDS OF ACID<\/strong> have stood for over the decades: an idiosyncratic approach to electronic music, a strong identity, and a live experience that confronts, seduces, and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by the current Acid Queen Carla Harvey<\/strong> (ex-BUTCHER BABIES<\/strong>),LORDS OF ACID<\/strong> deliver a set in which iconic tracks such as “Pussy”<\/strong>, “I Sit On Acid”<\/strong> and “Crablouse”<\/strong> seamlessly merge with new material. The show focuses on tension, dynamics, and presence, without distancing itself from the band’s roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour \u2014 a blend of pounding electronic beats, glam chaos, club culture, and pure attitude \u2014 is supported by a carefully curated line-up, each act contributing to the depth of the evening in its own way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* DEAD ON A SUNDAY<\/strong> brings raw, modern gothic energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* PRINCESS SUPERSTAR<\/strong> is known for sharp lyrics, and a distinctive, club ready swagger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* TONY AND THE KIKI<\/strong> add alternative, fashion-forward pop flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* MZ NEON<\/strong> opens the night with pulsating, underground-inspired electronic sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the tour offers audiences a first live introduction to the new LORDS OF ACID<\/strong> album, on which both PRINCESS SUPERSTAR<\/strong> and TONY AND THE KIKI<\/strong> appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for decades of boundary-pushing sound and performance, LORDS OF ACID<\/strong> continue to redefine what a live electronic show can be: loud, visual, playful, and fearless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
