Electronic provocateurs LORDS OF ACID return to the stage on April 25 with their headline U.S. run, the Cheeky Freaky Tour. The tour marks a bold new chapter for the iconic act—one that honors their legacy while delivering a fully realized,
uncompromising live experience rooted in the band’s unmistakable aesthetic and provocative spirit.
Spanning 29 cities across the United States, the Cheeky Freaky Tour is a high-voltage, multi-artist spectacle featuring both headline club dates and major festival appearances,
including Sick New World (April 25, Las Vegas) and Ritual Noize Fest (May 2, Denver). Each night is designed as an immersive, visceral experience—intense, confrontational, and unmistakably LORDS OF ACID.
“For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material,” says Praga Khan, founder and creative force behind LORDS OF ACID. “A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky
Freaky Tour’ ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.”
The “Cheeky Freaky Tour” is not a nostalgia tour. The tour reaffirms everything LORDS OF ACID have stood for over decades: a fearless, idiosyncratic approach to electronic music, a strong and unapologetic identity, and a live show that confronts, seduces, and surprises.
Led by the current Acid Queen Carla Harvey, LORDS OF ACID deliver a set in which iconic tracks such as “Pussy,”
“I Sit on Acid,” and “Crablouse” seamlessly merge
with new material. The show focuses on tension, dynamics, and presence, without distancing itself from the band’s roots.
The tour—a blend of pounding electronic beats, glam chaos, club culture, and pure attitude—is supported by a carefully curated line-up, each act contributing to the depth of the evening in its own way:
• Dead On A Sunday brings raw, modern gothic energy.
• Princess Superstar is known for sharp lyrics, and a distinctive, club ready
swagger.
• Tony and the Kiki add alternative, fashion-forward pop flair.
• MZ NEON opens the night with pulsating, underground-inspired electronic sounds.
Audiences will also experience the first live introduction to material from the upcoming LORDS OF ACID album, which features appearances from Princess Superstar and
Tony and the Kiki.
Known for decades of boundary-pushing sound and performance, LORDS OF ACID continue to redefine what a live electronic show can be: loud, visual, playful,
and fearless.
