Lords Of Acid are back on the road, and this time they mean business. The “Cheeky Freaky Tour” launches April 25 in Las Vegas at Sick New World and runs through May 31 in San Jose, covering 29 cities coast to coast. Club shows, festival stages, and everything in between. This is a full-scale return from one of electronic music’s most uncompromising acts, and the timing is deliberate.
Praga Khan, the founder and creative force behind Lords Of Acid, puts it plainly: “For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material. A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky Freaky Tour’ ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.” That new album gets its first live introduction on this tour, and both Princess Superstar and Tony and the Kiki appear on it.
Fronted by Acid Queen Carla Harvey, the live set pulls from deep catalog cuts alongside that new material. “Pussy,” “I Sit on Acid,” and “Crablouse” anchor the night with the kind of weight only decades of history can deliver. The room has been calling this one a full-body experience, loud, confrontational, and completely alive. The show runs on tension and presence, not nostalgia.
The supporting lineup is built to match. Dead On A Sunday bring raw gothic energy. Princess Superstar arrives with sharp lyricism and club-ready swagger. Tony and the Kiki add fashion-forward alternative pop. MZ NEON opens each night with pulsating underground electronics. Each act carries its own weight, and together they shape an evening with real depth and momentum.
