Randy Blythe was freed from a Czech prison earlier this morning. Blythe hasn't even landed in the States yet, but there is already news about future Lamb of God shows. The band has confirmed they will absolutely play the two Knotfest shows on August 17th and 18th, and they are currently in the midst of rescheduling their mega-tour with Dethklok and Gojira. This is incredibly exciting news. Here is the official press release we just received:
After five weeks in a prison in Prague in the Czech Republic, Randy Blythe has been released on bail and is returning to the United States. Although LAMB OF GOD has cancelled their summer co-headline tour with Dethklok, the band has agreed to play the KNOTFEST shows on August 17th in Council Bluffs, Iowa and August 18th in Somerset, Wisconsin.
The band is currently targeting October 26th as the start date for a U.S tour. Dates and cities will be released as soon as possible. Randy will be making a public statement discussing his time in Prague and thanking fans worldwide for their support in the next week.
August 17th's Knotfest is going to go off big time, as this will be Blythe's first show back since being detained, and you know he's going to have some extra fire in his performance. If you are in the area, these are absolutely unmissable shows. Get your ass out there and get in the pit! If you can't make it, both days of Knotfest are going to be streamed live.
