Des Rocs Announces Debut Headline Tour
Des Rocs announced his first ever headline tour, “Des Rocs Alive”.
He wrote of the news on twitter:
“this ain’t a joke, i’ll do the sentimental post later about how much this means to me but for now MY FIRST EVER HEADLINE TOUR IS HERE & I’M READY TO DRINK UR SWEAT & PRAY TO THE DEVIL LETS GOOOOO!”
The musician will hitting the road for 21 shows this fall.
The trek kicks off with Des’ appearance at the Firefly Music Festival in Delaware the weekend of September 23-26 with shows booked through his Nov. 4 hometown finale at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom.
“I feel like I was put on this earth to play shows,” said Des. “Since I was 13 I’ve played my guitar in basements and dive bars across the country to anyone who’d listen. This tour is a lifetime in the making. All the bumps and bruises along the way have made me who I am, they’re gonna pour out through my veins every single night of this tour. I can’t wait to finally put all these songs on a stage after dreamin’ about it for a year in isolation. I’m ready to lose myself again, the way I always have.”
The announcement of “Des Rocs Alive” follows his breakthrough EP “This Is Our Life”, which was released via 300 Entertainment in December of 2020. The album’s title track “This Is Our Life” has been streamed 6M+ times and hit Top 20 at Active Rock radio and Top 40 at Alternative radio.
With a law degree — and opening gigs for The Rolling Stones and Muse — under his belt, the ambitious rocker who grew up in Long Island and previously played in the band Secret Weapons in a recent interview said this about his new EP:
“There’s always common ground in my EPs. We might release a lot of the songs as singles in the run-up to all of them existing together, but they’re all tied together by certain themes. … This one is uniquely focused on introspection and deals with a lot of personal struggles.”
