The Contortionist have announced a European tour for later this year.

The Indiana outfit will kick off the run of 15 dates in Venice on August 3 and bring the tour to a conclusion with a set in Leeds on August 22.

They’ll be joined on the road by Azusa, while The Contortionist will also play several festivals including ArcTanGent.

Keyboardist Eric Guenther says: “We are thrilled to announce that we will be adventuring across the sea one more time on the Clairvoyant tour cycle to perform a series of shows and festival dates. 

“A highlight of the year, we can’t wait to celebrate with our European friends one more time before beginning the next chapter for The Contortionist. Hope to see everyone there!”

The Contortionist are currently on tour across North America with Animals As Leaders and Moon Tooth.
