Magma, a legendary band in France and one of music’s “most innovative and eclectic ensembles” will perform a select number of dates in North America this April. Formed in 1969 and inspired by a ”vision of humanity’s spiritual and ecological future”, Magma are known for singing in their self-invented language, Kobaïan, in which the band weaves ancient and apocalyptic tales.

Says band founder Christian Vander:

“MAGMA is happy to return to the United States to play for Americans. We know you are passionate, respectful and curious about music. We find you to be generous and open. It will be a joy for us to see you this year.”
