GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR in Madrid, Bilbao and Barcelona.

The GY!BE European Tour will arrive to Spain in March 2025

Madrid (3rd March), Bilbao (4th March) and Barcelona (5th March)

«GREY RUBBLE – GREEN SHOOTS» once again brought to mind the need to listen to Godspeed You! Black Emperor live . Un primer adelanto que venía acompañado de dos noticias: un nuevo disco que saldría el 4 de octubre y una nueva gira por Europa y Norteamérica, Liberation Tour. Comenzaba en Dublin, pasaba por Francia, Alemania, Suiza, Grecia… ¿Y por qué no llegaban hasta aquí? Todo era cuestión de esperar: Godspeed You! Black Emperor and his Liberation Tour will visit three Spanish cities next March. Godspeed You! Black Emperor are always necessary, and even more so in times like the ones we are living in. His sound, his images, the messages behind the names of his songs and his albums… All you have to do is listen to his new album, the ninth of his career, NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD (Constellation, 2024 ), and reflect on that cryptic title that refers to the number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza just when they finished recording the album, on February 13.

This is how they speak and reflect Godspeed You! Black Emperor about everything in this new album:

THE PLAIN TRUTH==
we drifted through it, arguing.
every day a new war crime, every day a flower bloom.
we sat down together and wrote it in one room,
and then sat down in a different room, recording.
NO TITLE= what gestures make sense while tiny bodies fall? what context? what broken melody?
and then a tally and a date to mark a point on the line, the negative process, the growing pile.
the sun setting above beds of ash
while we sat together, arguing.
the old world order barely pretended to care.
this new century will be crueler still.
war is coming.
don’t give up.
pick a side.
hang on.
Love.
