We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Primus will tour North America starting this July in the hopes of converting people who just know them from the South Park theme song.

The band’s first show takes place on July 27th in Toronto at the Sound Academy and will finish up October 8th in Upper Darby, PA at theTower Theater.

They’ll play a few shows with gypsy-rockers Gogol Bordello, a few with The Bronx’s mariachi side-project dubbed Mariachi El Bronx and one show with Wolfmother.

Tickets can be bought at the band’s official website or at Ticketmaster starting June 19th. Pre-sale tickets can also be bought at the band’s website using the password primusrox. All the tour dates are listed down below.
