Alien Weaponry Join Ministry Tour for First North American Appearance

Earlier this year, industrial titans Ministry announced a headlining tour with support coming from French synthwave act Carpenter Brut and avant-garde group Igorrr. Since the announcement, Igorrr have dropped off the bill and have now been replaced by New Zealand's tribal groove maestros Alien Weaponry.

This tour marks the band's first trek across North America as they support their debut album, Tū, which was released earlier this year. Alien Weaponry are a trio boasting two 15-year-old members and one 17-year-old member and they pay homage to their country's native culture, writing their songs in the Te Reo Māori language.

Check out their video message announcing their addition to the tour, as well as the complete list of upcoming dates, below.
