Gypsy punk rockers Gogol Bordello are set to hit the road for a co-headlining tour with alternative rock icons Primus – who are touring for the first time in four years.

Gogol Bordello are scheduled to join Primus in July and August at venues such as the Williamsburg Waterfront in Brooklyn, NY on July 30th and the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on August 12th.  Gogol Bordello just finished a sold out US tour and are also scheduled to appear at this summer’s Lollapalooza in Chicago and with Rage Against The Machine for select dates overseas.

Gogol Bordello's fifth studio album 'Trans-Continental Hustle' produced by Rick Rubin had a strong first week as an iTunes digital-only exclusive and was #1 on Billboard's Heatseaker Chart. The Los Angeles Times gave the album 3 ˝ out of 4 stars saying "Gogol Bordello seems poised for a big-time breakthrough."
