Clutch – to perform self-titled album in full on new European & North American tour + vinyl release in 2025

Master craftsmen of groove rock, CLUTCH have been honing their sound since they first formed in 1991. It was their second record, the eponymous Clutch, which saw them start to experiment more, blending more funk flavours with their stoner and blues influences, a sign of things to come.

Now, fans will have the chance to hear that record in full, as the band announce plans for an extensive European and North American tour which will see CLUTCH play the record in sequence and in its entirety. Production, staging, and lighting will be designed especially to enhance the vibe of this ground-breaking release. The band is excited to bring their plans for this unique show to fruition!

Tickets go on general sale Friday, 22 November at 10am local time from clutchmerch.com. Stay tuned for news about the North American leg to come.

Released by Atlantic Records back in May 1995, the self-titled album afforded CLUTCH their first mainstream exposure, and spawned a trilogy of psychedelic-tinged singles still much loved by fans today: “Big News,” “Spacegrass,” and “Escape From The Prison Planet.”

In 2025, marking its 30th anniversary, Weathermaker will release this influential stoner classic on 180-gram vinyl. Full details are yet to be revealed.
