Avalanche and Canshaker PI will join forces for a UK headline tour this autumn.

Each date will see the two acts battle it out for the headline slot via a series of challenges shared on the bands’ social media channels.

Speaking of the tour, bassist Joe Bell said: “We’ve had this tour on the back burner for a while so really looking forward to playing these gigs. We’ve had a wee break from a very busy summer of festivals and feeling pretty limber for this tour now. Old haunts and new territories. 1000mph. Great to have our Dutch comrades Canshaker Pi along for this dual headline tour lark. How to decide who will headline on what night I hear you all (nobody) cry? We’ll be pitting our metal against Canshaker in a series of challenges. What kind? All to be revealed on the tour via our social media but rest assured there’ll be feats of endurance, feats of skills, feats of bravery, feats of patience, feats of the feet and hands. I’ve heard traditional Dutch board games may feature. Do we make Tiddlywinks great again? Which feline reflex character do we stick in the goal posts and which set piece master do we send forth to glory? Time will tell. And we near the time.”
