Tenacious D have announced the acts who will be joining them as support for their upcoming UK and European tour.

Comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the duo shared news of an upcoming 2024 tour across the UK and Europe at the start of the month – dubbed the ‘Spicy Meatball Tour’.

Now, the band have announced the two special guests who will be joining them for the upcoming dates next spring – namely Crusade and Dave Hill.

“Please welcome our friends, Mr Dave Hill and Crusade, on the Spicy Meatball tour as we roll through Europe and the UK this spring!” the rock duo said in a new update.

Crusade – a progressive metal band from Tennessee – will be joining Black and Gass during their run of European shows, which will start at the end of April. Comedian and musician Dave Hill will open for the band for their run of UK shows the following month.

The 2024 tour launches with a stop in Stockholm on April 29, before continuing with dates in Oslo (30), Copenhagen (May 1) and Luxembourg (3).

From there, the duo will play a show in Dublin on May 5, before making stops at six UK cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham and Brighton.

The ‘Spicy Meatball Tour’ will wrap up with a slot at the Accor Arena in Paris on May 15. Tickets are available now and you can find any remaining ones here.

“It’s no joke. Tenacious D is the best band in the world and in the ‘Spicy Meatball Tour’ they are at the peak of their powers,” read a quote from an ‘anonymous rock historian’ shared in a tour’s press release.

“Better than The Beatles…better than the Stones…even better than Taylor Swift,” it added. “And they have PYRO!!! Do not miss the spicy meatball…it’s D- licious!!!”

Back in May, Tenacious D released their first new song in five years, ‘Video Games’. The duo followed it up the following month with a studio version of their viral ‘Wicked Game’ cover.

Tenacious D played a show at The O2 in London this summer as part of their ongoing ‘Spicy Meatball Tour’, and have since performed gigs in North America.
