Detroit band Vazum reveal summer tour dates in UK
Vazum, the inventive duo hailing from Detroit, has disclosed their plans for an exciting UK summer tour set to take place in June and July. This announcement includes a series of gigs at various cozy venues, with a notable finale scheduled at Leicester’s acclaimed Darker Days Festival.
Since their formation in 2017, Vazum has been a whirlwind of activity, independently launching an impressive nine full-length albums while crisscrossing the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Spain with their unique brand of music. Widely considered as the trailblazers of a sub-genre they refer to as “deathgaze,” Vazum is known for blending the traditional elements of deathrock with the atmospheric textures of shoegaze music. Their sound pays homage to the roots of goth rock while also pushing the boundaries of modern alternative music.
Comprising Zach Pliska on vocals and guitar and Emily Sturm on vocals and bass, with the accompanying drum machine known as Jimmy, Vazum has created a distinct and captivating stage presence. Riding on the success of their 2024 hit album, “Western Violence,” the duo recently released singles like “Pretty Brutal” and “Arise,” providing a glimpse into their upcoming album expected to drop later this year. Vazum’s commitment to their DIY ethos has allowed them to shun mainstream norms, embracing an authentic approach that values real-world connections over digital supremacy.
In a bid to strengthen their bond with fans, the band is offering an exclusive merchandise raffle at each stop of the tour for advance ticket holders. Lucky winners stand a chance to win premium vinyl copies of “Western Violence” or one-of-a-kind deathgaze t-shirts. For avid followers looking to snag their tickets early, they can head over to the band’s official website where tickets are already on sale. Additionally, Vazum’s extensive music catalog can be accessed via Bandcamp, allowing fans to download their music on a pay-what-you-want basis.
Vazum’s UK tour is a testament to their commitment to their craft and their dedication to delivering immersive live performances. With a packed schedule that kicks off in Edinburgh at The Banshee Labyrinth before weaving its way through major cities and culminating in Manchester, the duo is set to captivate audiences throughout the UK. So mark your calendars for a night of high-energy music and enthralling performances by Vazum.
