The new leg comes at a month after they end their European trek, kicking off in California before heading to Las Vegas’ Life is Beautiful Festival in late September. On a whirlwind global tour to promote the release of their as yet to be named forthcoming album and perform tracks from their mixtape, Suck on This, the group was just settling into.

Die Antwoord have a number of North American shows scheduled throughout the summer, mainly at music festivals like Pemberton and Lollapalooza.
