Red Dons European Tour 2024

Posted on by

We’re excited to announce our upcoming shows in Europe! We’ll be playing a number of cities that we weren’t able to visit last year. This is also our first time performing in Greece and Armenia! The promoters for our shows in Georgia and Armenia have designed a very cool Red Dons t-shirt. These shirts are available for purchase here… https://reddons.bandcamp.com/merch/raison-detre-shirt-pre-order The proceeds from these t-shirts sales go specifically to helping us out with our travel expenses to Armenia. So hey! Help a punk out! Buy a shirt! We plan to have East/West Collection, Dead Hand of Tradition, Fake Meets Failure and Observers LPs on hand. Big thanks to Taken By Surprise Records for making all of this possible! Follow Red Dons on Instagram for tour updates, pictures and videos.

Red Dons playing To Be Punk Festival #12 – Novi Sad, Serbia

Posted on by

We are excite to announce that we are playing To Be Punk Fest in Novi Sad, Serbia. We are scheduled to share the stage with Cock Sparrer on June 1st. Below is the official announcement from the festival promoters.

Portland je odavno poznat po sjajnoj punk sceni a RED DONS je ve? desetak godina jedan od najsjajnijih njenih predstavnika. Ovaj nomadski bend ?iji ?lanovi u poslednje vreme žive na relaciji Amerika-Evropa uprkos udaljenosti uspevaju da održe kontinuitet i budu prisutni kako koncertno tako i sa izdanjima. Iza njih je deset vinila, tri odli?na albuma i sedam singlova. 2014. na pesmi “A Vote For The Unknown” gostovao im je TV Smith. Frontmen benda, gitarista i peva? Doug nedavno je postao otac pa je to jedan od razloga zašto je 2018. godina za Red Dons bila mirnija godina. Na naš poziv da do?u u Novi Sad i nastupe na To Be Punk-u odazvali su se sa oduševljenjem, kao da žive iza ?oška, i bukvalno u roku od dva dana, izorganizovali su vikend tour od ?etiri datuma. Tako da ?emo imati privilegiju i ?ast da nakon devet godina ugostimo jedan ameri?ki bend na festivalu. Red Dons ?e nastupiti u subotu 01. juna na bini u Letnjem bioskopu KC Novi Sad u Katoli?koj porti.
