GRAMMY Award-nominated metal titans LAMB OF GOD and GRAMMY Award-winning band MASTODON announce the co-headlining Ashes Of Leviathan Tour.

Both bands will perform their respective albums in full. Special guests Kerry King and MALEVOLENCE will support throughout the tour, with UNEARTH on select dates.
Kicking off on July 19 in Grand Prairie, TX at the Texas Trust CU Theatre, the North American arena and amphitheater run will take them through the US and Canada, culminating on the exact 20th anniversary of each album on August 31 in Omaha, NE at the Astro Amphitheater.
