March 11, 2024 – Baroness bring their “Sweet Oblivion Tour” to Europe this Summer, announcing a number of headlining performances amidst their previously announced festival outings. With special guest: Frail Body

Baroness shared: “Finally, we’re coming over to play some festivals we haven’t been to before, play songs from STONE for the first time in Europe and the U.K. and most importantly, see YOU after too long a time away!”

Recorded in a remote cabin on the border of Pennsylvania and New York, Baroness’ self-produced STONE marked a shift for the band, with Baroness self-producing the 10-song album in a departure from their recent collections. At the time of the album announcement, John Baizley explained that “an important through line in Baroness is we don’t like to repeat ourselves. It’s all about the willingness to take risks. So we doubled down on continuously inventing to see where it takes us. I think this record is a good reflection of that. STONE is a lot more alive, more direct.”

Featured on recent covers of Kerrang!, Revolver, Rock Zone and Rock Tribune, critics and fans have embraced Baroness’ DIY approach. Pitchfork said “Baroness remain one of the most remarkable and capable bands at the intersection of heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelia,” while Metal Hammer noted “Baroness’ sixth studio album is another wonderful journey through myriad emotions.”
