The brainchild of celebrated guitarist and son of Eddie Van Halen, Mammoth WVH has already confirmed multiple dates as support for Metallica and Alter Bridge this summer. Now, the Los Angeles-based rockers are ready to take the spotlight and share more of their new music with fans on the live stage.
Beginning with a November 4 performance in Milwaukee, the band will travel to cities across the U.S., including stops in Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Austin, and Seattle before wrapping up with a show on December 9 in Los Angeles.
Fans in attendance are likely to hear many cuts from both the band’s self-titled 2021 debut and Mammoth II, including the band’s recent pre-release singles, the fiery “Another Celebration at the End of the World” and the psychedelic-tinged “Take a Bow.”
During a recent appearance on the show Audacy Check In, Van Halen discussed the recording process of Mammoth II, which marks his second solo album to date. The 32-year-old talent played every single instrument featured on the 10-track album, which took a total of two months to record.
“Mammoth is my artistic outlet and it’s a fun challenge I really enjoy,” he explained. “Plus it’s the only opportunity I really have to play everything anymore. I don’t get to play drums anymore; I love playing drums. So, it’s a really fun process.”
Fellow acclaimed rock guitarist Nita Strauss will serve as direct support for all of Mammoth WVH’s newly announced headlining shows, which are listed below. Tickets go on sale on Friday (July 21), beginning at 10 a.m. local time. Additional information on ticketing options is on the band’s official website.
