Fans had been excited for Baroness’ new album Purple when it came out in December of last year. Finally, those fans will get a chance to see the band perform the tracks live. Baroness will be performing at The Cabooze on Tuesday, August 23rd. Many people have referred to this newest release as Baroness’ best and a masterpiece.

Originally, Baroness was to play the Varsity Theater, but ultimately decided to move to a different venue, due to concerns over child sex abuse lawsuits filed against the venue’s owner:

"All Minneapolis/Minnesotan Baroness fans and ticket-holders:

Due to some very disturbing allegations surrounding the club where we had originally booked our upcoming show, we have decided to side with our conscience and change the venue for our August 23 show.

All tickets bought prior to this announcement will be honored in-full at the new venue, The Cabooze (917 Cedar Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55404.) We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the it was a necessary decision and we hope you understand. See you soon!"

The upcoming show will be supported by Pallbearer from Arkansas. Pallbearer is known for their deeply melodic tracks and are truly captivating to see live.
