Cinematic rock band STARSET is getting ready to head back out on the road this April and May and appearing at all the top U.S. rock festivals in continued support of their sophomore album VESSELS. The band will be stopping locally in Louisville on Sunday, May 21 at the Iroquois Amphitheater with Skillet.
With over 300 shows logged to date, STARSET--front man Dustin Bates and his helmeted-and-pressure-suited crew, bassist Ron DeChant, guitarist Brock Richards and drummer Adam Gilbert--has distinguished themselves touring with the likes of Breaking Benjamin and In This Moment, playing major U.S. rock festivals and four sold out performances in planetariums, becoming the first rock band to play live in the full dome entertainment environment.
Upon its release January 20, 2017, VESSELS debuted at #11 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, with more than 23,000 equivalent album units, and at #3 on the Billboard Top Current Rock Album Chart. The album has been receiving critical praise with Steve Beebee fromKerrang! giving VESSELS a 4K rating and hailing, “If revered darkwave pop veterans Depeche Mode multiplied their aural dimensions by seven, something like Vessels would emerge” (1/10/17) and Loudwire.com naming it January’s Release of the Month adding, “Simply put, Starset’s Vessels works on multiple levels. If you’re looking for engaging singular tracks to fill your playlist, this album has several songs that could keep the band on radio for a long run. But if you’re looking for a deeper connection and a full listening experience, Vessels truly takes the listener on a journey both musically and thematically."
Doors open 6:00 p.m.
