Panchiko Unveils 2027 US Tour to Support New Album Chimera

Panchiko is making waves in the music scene with the announcement of their 2027 US tour to promote their eagerly awaited album, Chimera. This tour marks a significant moment for the band, which has seen a remarkable resurgence in popularity since their original cult classic, D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L, was rediscovered years after its release. The tour is set to kick off on April 13th in San Antonio and will run through May 15th, wrapping up in Mesa, Arizona. Fans can look forward to a series of performances in major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Denver, Seattle, and Inglewood.

The tour will feature a rotating lineup of opening acts, showcasing a variety of talent including billy woods, Puzzle, Clarion, Korea Girl, Alison’s Halo, she’s green, sundots, Novulent, and Stomach Book. Tickets for these highly anticipated shows will go on sale starting Friday, November 6th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster.

Chimera, which is set to release on April 9th via Nettwerk, promises to be a significant addition to Panchiko's discography. The album's lead single, "One Car Hits Another," featuring Mei Semones, has already generated excitement among fans. The band has also released an official video for the single, which creatively features a stop-motion skeleton enjoying the magic of recorded music, perfectly aligning with the band's unique aesthetic.

This upcoming album and tour signify a new chapter for Panchiko, who originally faded from the limelight after their teenage years. Their unexpected revival began when a copy of their original album surfaced in a charity shop, leading to a resurgence of interest through online music communities. This newfound popularity has allowed the band to reconnect with fans and perform for audiences much larger than they experienced during their initial run.

Panchiko's current lineup includes original members Andy Wright and Owain Davies, alongside Robert Harris, Shaun Ferreday, and Jon Nellen.
