Primus will hit the road later this year for an extensive run of summer tour dates which will see the veteran rock outfit pay tribute to their heroes in Rush every night on stage.

As per the band’s announcement on Tuesday, Primus’ upcoming A Tribute to Kings Tour (named after Rush’s 1977 A Farewell to Kings studio album) will hear the band play the classic rock album in full at every show when the summer run begins on May 26th in Irving, TX.

Each show on the tour will hear the band perform the music featured on A Farewell to Kings–the first Rush album bassist/singer Les Claypool ever heard–in addition to original material out of the Primus songbook. The tour’s name and overall mission also make for a fitting tribute to late Rush drummer Neil Peart, who died unexpectedly earlier this year.

The upcoming tour will follow the band’s one-off performance in Missoula, MT back in November when it begins in late May. The extensive run of shows will take the band through a long list of North American cities before the tour wraps following a performance at Phoenix, AZ’s Arizona Federal Theatre on August 2nd.

Primus will be joined in support throughout the tour on select dates by Wolfmother, The Sword, and Battles.

“I talked to Geddy [Lee] about it, yeah. I texted with him — I keep in touch with Geddy — just to make sure we weren’t trodding on something weird,” Claypool said about the upcoming run with the tour’s announcement on Tuesday. “He just got excited; he thought it was a great idea. You know, we go way back with those guys so I think it made him feel good that it was going to be us that was going to do this thing.”

Claypool’s other band, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, recently welcomed Geddy Lee to sit in during a recent performance in Toronto last spring.

Claypool also touched on the final memory of his old friend and rock colleague in Neil Peart in adding, “The last time I saw Neil was at Stewart Copeland’s house. He had one of his Sacred Grove jams, and it was he and I and Neil and [Tool drummer] Danny Carey, and Matt Stone was there.”

A special pre-sale for the tour begins this Wednesday, February 19th, at 10 a.m. local time. Public on-sale will follow starting this Friday, February 21st, at 10 a.m. local. Head to the band’s website for ticket info.
