Kylesa, the Savannah-based quintet who have won widespread praise for their earth-shaking blend of psychedelia and hard rock, return to the road on May 25 for a series of headlining dates as well as performances at venerable summer festivals including Bonnaroo, Pitchfork Music Festival and Maryland Death Fest.

“After a small break from several months of touring here and abroad, we’re ready to get back on the road here in the U.S. and are very much looking forward to playing these lauded and diverse festivals,” said songwriter/guitarist Laura Pleasants.

Spiral Shadow has earned universal praise since its 2010 release on Season of Mist Records.
