Long-running German industrial act KMFDM will spend much of the second half of 2011 on the road supporting its recently released album WTF?!, with a newly announced 22-date North American tour set for August and another 22 concerts booked across Europe in October and November.
Still led by Sascha Konietzko, the band opens its North American trek Aug. 3 in Seattle and plays dates in U.S. and Canada through an Aug. 27 concert in Victoria, British Columbia. Then the group picks back up again Oct. 25, opening its European run in Germany and wrapping up Nov. 20 in the U.K. (see dates below).
In April, KMFDM released its 17th studio album, called WTF?! , which was preceded by the single “Krank” and the free download of “Rebels in Kontrol,” a track issued on the band’s website in December in support of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
