Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier lets you know what you can expect from the band’s March shows.

Gojira vocalist Joe Duplantier has spoken exclusively to Metal Hammer about their forthcoming UK tour, promising that these will be the band’s greatest shows on our shores to date.

“We’re very excited about this tour,” says Duplantier. “It will be the first time we’ve done a big headline show in the UK, with the video backdrop and our proper backline and our real set. It will be the first real Gojira shows. We did a tour with Hatesphere, but we were co-headlining and we didn’t have a lot of gear or our real backline or a screen. This will be the real thing”

“We’ll be focusing on the last album, but we’ll also play songs from ‘Terra Incognito’, ‘The Link’ and ‘From Mars To Sirius’,” Duplantier continued. “With the English audience, it’s very special. Playing in the UK, it was the first time that we got a lot of very young kids asking for autographs and screaming and going crazy. It was the same in Ireland too. I don’t know how to describe it in English! It would be much easier in French. But it’s from the gut, not from the mind. It’s a really strong relationship. It’s very interesting. I can’t wait to be there again with the other guys. They all want to improve their English this time!”
