Mastodon recently announced that they will hit the road for a spring North American tour in support of their current album, The Hunter, which was released by Reprise Records in September. The tour kicks off on April 4th in Portland, ME, and visits more than 30 cities in the US and Canada before wrapping up with a hometown show at Atlanta's Masquerade Music Park on May 12th.

These shows will feature an amazing night of powerful music featuring a dream bill with Swedish metal band OPETH as co-headliners, with special guest GHOST providing support on all dates.

Collectively Mastodon has stated: "We're excited to co-headline this tour with Opeth for whom we have great respect and admiration. Having Ghost along as well will make this tour a special event."
