Today, international punk band Gogol Bordello announced a European tour, set to kick off in the UK on May 25. Led by Ukrainian frontman Eugene Hütz, this comes on the heels of four sold out New Year’s Eve shows in the US, a tradition they’ve celebrated for 15 years. The band recently performed for Rolling Stone and WNYC’s Soundcheck, with Eugene continuing to be a “flagbearer of the cultural resistance…as the one-year mark of the war in Ukraine approaches” - listen to his interview on CBC Radio's The Sunday Magazine here.
Local Presales: Thursday, February 9 @ 10am Local Time
General On Sale: Friday, February 10 @ 10 am Local Time
Since the band’s genesis in the Lower East Side punk-rock scene of 1999, Gogol Bordello has been riling up audiences with an inimitable patchwork of raucous punk and Eastern European Gypsy-swing. Latest album Solidaritine takes them back to hardcore roots with a renewed sense of urgency, as Hütz explains: “Solidaritine is the substance that unlocks our empathy and our full human potential…May this be your punky uplift for our packed with troubled times.”
Hütz has also appeared in art house films such as Liev Schreiber’s Everything Is Illuminated with Elijah Wood and Filth and Wisdom helmed by Madonna. Gogol Bordello has lit up stages around the world alongside System of a Down, Primus, Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, dueted with Regina Spektor and cut albums with legends Rick Rubin and Steve Albini. More collaborations to come.
