Known for their iconic mix of industrial, electro, and dance music, Lords of Acid has been shaking the foundations of the music world since the early '90s. Their live shows are notorious for their energy, boundary-pushing visuals, and relentless dance grooves. This tour marks a monumental chapter in the band’s long-standing legacy and a new chapter as former Butcher Babies singer Carla Harvey joins the band. "I had three favorite bands in high school: Guns N’ Roses, Pantera and Lords of Acid. Each one shaped me and uniquely influenced me as an artist. LOA had me hooked from the moment I heard “I Sit On Acid” as a teenager dancing the night away at Detroit’s goth Industrial Haven City Club. My obsession with LOA only grew after I saw Coop’s artwork on the cover of “Voodoo U”. Now I get to record an album and go on tour with my industrial heroes! Pinch 16 year old me! She’ll be the one in the vocal booth. I’m adding a bucket list item to my resume: Reigning “Acid Queen”. Praise the Lords!" - Carla Harvey Visit: https://musicboxsd.com/event/14236883/lords-of-acid-with-special-guests-little-miss-nasty-lucia-cifarelli-from-kmfdm-praise-the-lords-us-tour-2025/ Lords of Acid on Instagram and Facebook

Born in Riverside, Calif., to Mexican parents, Cornejo epitomizes the modern música mexicana artist. He has embraced the traditional instruments, including the requinto and other acoustic guitars, that have long powered the regional Mexican sound, but has also given the enduring genre an alternative edge, incorporating electric guitars and darker, emo-like lyrics for a sad sierreño approach that has connected with his young and zealous fan base. “A lot of my influences came from regional Mexican, but it is hard to just identify as just that,” says Cornejo, who broke out in 2021 with his first single, “Está Dañada (She Is Damaged),” which landed him a No. 1 entry on Billboard’s Latin Songwriters chart dated Oct. 30, 2021, while also becoming the second regional Mexican song to appear on the all-genre Hot 100. “All the genres that I listen to, like country and rock, have inspired me. My sound is regional Mexican with a twist.” Visit: Ivan Cornejo Ivan Cornejo on Instagram and Facebook
