LORDI Postpones North American Tour Dates

Finnish metal monsters LORDI have postponed their previously announced North American tour dates to coincide with the band's appearance at this summer's Ozzfest. However, the group is still expected to go through with its two-night stint at the Bamboozle music festival in East Rutherford, New Jersey on May 5 and 6.

The affected dates are as follows:

Apr. 20 - Anaheim, CA @ House of Blues
Apr. 21 - Hollywood, CA @ Avalon
Apr. 22 - San Francisco, CA @ Slims
Apr. 24 - Denver, CO @ Gothic Theatre

Since winning Eurovision (the song contest that previously was a springboard for mainstream artists such as ABBA and CELINE DION) by its highest score ever, LORDI's popularity has grown to gargantuan heights, with the band conquering numerous European charts and a six-week sold out tour of Europe. The band's latest album, "The Arockalypse" has been certified triple platinum in Finland and is now also among the Top 60 best-selling Finnish albums ever. In addition to gracing the cover of dozens of Finnish publications, news features on LORDI's groundbreaking Eurovision win appeared outside of Finland in media outlets such as The New York Times, The Guardian and Spin.
