El Moono Announces UK Tour Dates in Support of Debut Album ‘The Waking Sun’

Post-metal band El Moono is hitting the road in the UK to promote their first album, The Waking Sun, released through Lockjaw Records. The album has already garnered praise, with Metal Hammer giving it an impressive 8/10 rating.

The Brighton-based quartet will be touring with Author & Punisher, making festival appearances, and headlining various shows in the coming months. Here are the upcoming tour dates:

  • Jul 13: Nottingham Mangata Festival
  • Aug 12: Brighton Chalk (supporting Author & Punisher)
  • Aug 13: London New Cross Inn (supporting Author & Punisher)
  • Aug 14: Manchester Bread Shed (supporting Author & Punisher)

  • Sep 21: Leicester Crowded Festival
  • Sep 22: Manchester Love Day (headline)
  • Oct 19: Rugby West Indian Club (headline)

Tickets for the shows are available here.

El Moono expressed their excitement about connecting with fans during their headline tour earlier this year and are looking forward to hitting the road again. They will be performing alongside Author & Punisher and Ken Mode, promising a memorable experience for their audience.

The band’s latest single, ‘Marionettes,’ can be listened below:

Recorded at Middle Farm Studios with Sam Conevey, The Waking Sun showcases a darker and more mature side of El Moono. Following their well-received Temple Corrupted EP, the band has been making waves in the British underground scene, drawing praise from Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, and Guitar World.

With a blend of rock, hardcore, metal, and grunge influences, El Moono’s unique sound is characterized by off-kilter riffs, emotive melodies, and expressive lyrics. Their music defies easy categorization, offering a fresh take on the metal genre.
