The D.C. area grindcore trio Pig Destroyer doesn’t play here—or anywhere—all that often. But, when it does, it plays on some pretty amazing bills.
The band’s label, Relapse, just announced a new four-date world tour which includes the band’s first-ever stop at the Black Cat:
PIG DESTROYER will first perform a local Washington, DC show on April 11th at the Black Cat along with label-mates MISERY INDEX as well as MAGRUDERGRIND and THE WAYWARD.
PIG DESTROYER will then head to Japan in early May for ‘Extreme The Dojo 20’ as headlined by the re-united AT THE GATES. Also on the tour are PIG DESTROYER labelmates THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN. A listing of PIG DESTROYER live dates can be found below with more tour plans to be announced shortly.
