When REVOLVER, which is by every metric the world’s top heavy rock magazine, ran a comprehensive survey of music fans and critics, in search of the 5 Greatest Live Bands Of All Time, the results were decisive, clear and overwhelming. Beating the likes of: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Tool and Pantera to the summit was THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN at Number One!
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: When it comes to irreverent, no-holds-barred onstage antics, none did it better, or more boldly, than spazzcore innovators The Dillinger Escape Plan. Throwing sanity, restraint, common sense and the band members’ own personal safety to the wind, the quintet approached each show as its own unique, arcane ritual, baptizing audiences with blood, sweat and chaos. No one ever left a Dillinger show without a memory — and possibly even a scar — to treasure for life, and a story to shock, astound and horrify disbelieving friends and family with. DEP bid fans farewell at the end of 2017, as possibly the world’s last truly dangerous rock band.
Following an 8-year hiatus, The Dillinger Escape Plan return for a very limited number of live shows to commemorate their ground breaking album Calculating Infinity and so much more.
For those who have witnessed The Dillinger Escape Plan live before, we know that you will be there. For those who have not, life has given you a second chance. Grasp it with gratitude!
