Get Ready for a Sonic Tsunami: Spiritbox's Rise to the Top
Forget the quiet life in Victoria, British Columbia. Spiritbox, the Grammy-nominated progressive metal band, are exploding onto the global stage, and their upcoming Tsunami Sea North American tour is just the latest wave in their meteoric rise. This isn't just another metal tour; it's a testament to a band that's defying expectations and rewriting the rules of the genre.
The Tsunami is Coming: Spiritbox's North American Tour and Beyond
Kicking off April 3rd in Dallas, Texas, and produced by Live Nation, the Tsunami Sea North American Tour promises 24 dates of high-octane energy. Loathe, Dying Wish, and GEL will join Spiritbox as support acts, promising a night of incredible heavy music for fans.
- Ticket sales will prioritize fans over scalpers, using Ticketmaster's Face Value Exchange. Most tickets will be mobile only and restricted from transfer to prevent scalping.
- Citi cardmembers get early access to tickets.
- The tour follows Spiritbox's second consecutive Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance, an incredible feat for any band, especially a female-fronted one.
But the North American tour is just one piece of the puzzle. Spiritbox's 2025 plans are jam-packed: they'll headline shows across Europe and even join Linkin Park on select dates of their world tour.
Their new album, Tsunami Sea, out March 7th, is already creating a buzz with singles "Soft Spine" and "Perfect Soul" showcasing their diverse sound—a potent blend of heavy riffs and catchy melodies.
From Victoria to World Domination: Spiritbox's Journey
Spiritbox's story is one of remarkable growth. Formed in 2017 by vocalist Courtney LaPlante and guitarist Mike Stringer, the band initially found success with "Holy Roller" in 2020, exploding onto the scene. Their debut album, Eternal Blue (2021), debuted at #13 on the Billboard 200, a massive achievement for a relatively new band in the metal world.
- Eternal Blue's success led to sold-out tours, magazine covers (Revolver, Alternative Press, etc.), and opening slots for metal giants like Limp Bizkit and Ghost.
- The band has continued to push boundaries with EPs like Rotoscope and The Fear of Fear, along with collaborations with Illenium and Megan Thee Stallion.
- They've faced challenges, including the loss of their former bassist, Bill Crook, demonstrating their resilience and the strong bonds within the band.
Spiritbox's success is not just about catchy songs and killer riffs; it's about a genuine connection with fans, a willingness to experiment, and a refusal to be confined by genre limitations. Their journey demonstrates that hard work, artistic integrity, and a dash of unexpected collaboration can truly lead to world domination.
