The \u201cCheeky Freaky Tour\u201d<\/strong> is not a nostalgia tour. The tour reaffirms everything LORDS OF ACID<\/strong> have stood for over decades: a fearless, idiosyncratic approach to electronic music, a strong and unapologetic identity, and a live show that confronts, seduces, and surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by the current Acid Queen\u00a0Carla Harvey<\/strong>,\u00a0LORDS OF ACID<\/strong>\u00a0deliver a set in which iconic tracks such as\u00a0\u201cPussy,\u201d<\/strong> \u201cI Sit on Acid,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cCrablouse\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0seamlessly merge with new material. The show focuses on tension, dynamics, and presence, without distancing itself from the band\u2019s roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour\u2014a blend of pounding electronic beats, glam chaos, club culture, and pure attitude\u2014is 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

\u2022\u00a0Princess Superstar<\/strong>\u00a0is known for sharp lyrics, and a distinctive, club ready swagger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Tony and the Kiki<\/strong> add alternative, fashion-forward pop flair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 MZ NEON<\/strong> opens the night with pulsating, underground-inspired electronic sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
