Suicidal Tendencies have announced that they’ll play two shows in Cuba later this year.

The band will play the dates in May – with drummer Dave Lombardo especially excited at the prospect of visiting his homeland.

Suicidal Tendencies say: “So many great things coming up we can’t wait to share. Here’s another one that is huge to the band and especially Dave Lombardo… Suicidal Tendencies is extremely excited to announce two shows in Cuba!”

Lombardo adds: “I’ve toured around the world all of my life and have never played the country I was born in. I finally get the chance to play in Cuba on May 7 and May 11 with Suicidal Tendencies.”

Earlier this month, the band released the Get Your Fight On! EP – their first material since 2016 album World Gone Mad.

Suicidal Tendencies are about to embark on a tour of Australia and New Zealand before heading to Cuba. They’ll also play at this year’s Bloodstock festival in the UK.
