After years of anticipation, Lords of Acid are officially back on U.S. soil. The legendary electronic provocateurs have announced the “Cheeky Freaky Tour,” a 29-date headlining run launching April 25 in Las Vegas and stretching coast to coast through the end of May. More than a simple comeback, the tour marks the opening chapter of a fully reenergized era for the band—one that looks forward without erasing its infamous past.

This spring run is deliberately framed as a reinvention rather than a nostalgia trip. The “Cheeky Freaky Tour” blends intimate club settings with large-scale festival appearances, including Sick New World in Las Vegas and Ritual Noize Fest in Denver. Each stop promises a high-impact, immersive experience that reflects decades of live evolution while amplifying the band’s modern edge.

Founder and creative architect Praga Khan confirms that this momentum is driven by more than touring ambition. For the first time in eight years, LORDS OF ACID have completed entirely new material, with a brand-new album expected later this year. According to Khan, the upcoming record respects the legacy that built the band’s reputation while decisively pushing their sound, visuals, and performance energy into the future.

Now fronted by Carla Harvey, the current Acid Queen era bridges generations seamlessly. Setlists are designed to collide eras—iconic tracks like “Pu**y,” “I Sit On Acid,” and “Crablouse” sit alongside unreleased material that previews what’s next. The focus remains on tension, theatrical presence, and sonic impact, reinforcing the band’s reputation for performances that feel confrontational, playful, and dangerously alive.

The supporting lineup has been curated to match the tour’s boundary-breaking ethos. Dead on a Sunday bring raw, modern gothic energy, while Princess Superstar delivers razor-sharp lyricism and club-ready confidence. Tony and the Kiki add fashion-forward alternative pop flair, and MZ Neon opens each night with pulsing underground electronics. Notably, both Princess Superstar and Tony and the Kiki appear on the forthcoming LORDS OF ACID album, offering fans an early glimpse into the band’s next creative phase—live and unfiltered.

Decades into their career, LORDS OF ACID continue to defy expectations of what an electronic act can be. Loud, visual, provocative, and unapologetically bold, the “Cheeky Freaky Tour” is less about reclaiming relevance and more about proving they never lost it.
