Consequence of Sound' s Summer Tour Guide will lead you to the darkest, dankest (not every venue has a ventilation system, folks) concerts where you can dance the night away after spending too many hours in the sun. From Dirty Projectors to Phish to the Diplo/Grimes/Skrillex extravaganza that is the Full Flex Express, we've listed the best and brightest artists that are touring new or as-of-yet unreleased albums , touring around festival appearances, or just touring because it's damn fun. -Harley Brown Associate Editor Feature artwork [...]

John Londono I didn't study a whole lot of history in school - to my regret - and the topics I did cover didn't include the War Of 1812. I did, however, take a lot of math courses so I am able to calculate that this is the 200th anniversary of said conflict between the then-British territory that would become known as Canada and the newly-independent United States of America. The precise causes of the war aren't entirely clear to me but based on the musical events being scheduled at Toronto's Historic Fort [...]

In 1987, John Candy and Steve Martin looked an odd couple when they travelled in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles across an obscured North America to get home for Thanksgiving. So, in 2012, Grimes , Diplo , and Skrillex are going to travel across Canada, on a train, to celebrate the summer on a tour dubbed 'The Full Flex Express'. This July the trio will appear in cities across Canada and between each stop they’ll be on a private train together. Fort York, PNE Coliseum, and Parc Jean Drapeau are all amongst the [...]

Skrillex will embark upon his Full Flex Express tour, which is a train tour across Canada, with support from Pretty Lights, Diplo , Grimes, Koan Sound, and TokiMonsta. The idea is to recreate a similar train tour that took place over 40 years ago and featured timeless acts such as The Grateful Dead and Janis Joplin. Skrillex and Co. were inspired by Mumford and Sons and Edward Sharpe, who did a similar tour last year. Unfortunately, the tour will make no U.S dates, but you can be sure there will be some highly entertaining YouTube clips that will come [...]

The best live act I saw at SXSW is touring Canada by train, and he's taking Diplo and Grimes with him! By now, the fact that I love Skrillex has passed into some sort of Stereogum-infamy history, but seriously, Canadians, if you get a chance, watch this guy melt the faces of vast numbers of teenagers. The hilariously titled Full Flex Express tour, on which he'll cross Canada with a supporting cast that also includes Pretty Lights, KOAN Sound, and Tokimonsta, seems like a pretty good opportunity. The idea of this tour is inspired by 19702s [...]

In what seems like an unironic buzz line-up put together by Hipster Runoff , Grimes is set to tour with Diplo and Skrillex . And if you think that's weird enough, they're set to tour Canada by train alone. But we've come to expect the unexpected, or at least the things you hadn't really thought about anyway, from the Canadian singer. The tour was inspired by Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead and The Band's similar feat back in the '70s. Dubbed 'Full Flex Express Tour', the trio will [...]

photo by Morgen Schuler In perhaps the most epic triple header since Florida's Liturgy/Sleigh Bells/Diplo shows earlier this year, it has just been announced that Grimes , Diplo , and Skrillex will be touring across Canada on a train. They won't be coming to Seattle at all, but if you don't mind the drive, the Full Flex Express, as they call it, will make a stop in Vancouver on July 22. The three will also be aided by Pretty Lights , KOAN Sound , and Tokimonsta . [...]

Probably your parents know more about the famed Festival Express , a concert train led by the Janis Joplin and the Grateful Dead in Summer of 1970. With the very competitive dance production circuit, Sonny Moore has done it again by putting the mothership on rails. This summer Canada will experience the bass as Skrillex , Diplo , Grimes and more cruise countryside, most likely leaving a trail of hungover ravers. The trek will have six stops taking them [...]

A Locomotive across the great white north is certainly not how I expected an Electronic tour to go, but, well, here we are. The Fullflex Express Canada Tour is bringing Skrillex, Diplo, Grimes, Tokimonsta, Koan Sound and Pretty Lights on a cross-country tour that will ship the artists on, you guessed it, their own private party train. The concerts will act as their own mini-festival, featuring a number of stages holding simeltanious performances, mini-festival style. Quoting Skrillex "we were really inspired when Mumford and Sons and Edward Sharp and those guys [...]

Skrillex, Pretty Lights, Diplo, Grimes (pictured), KOAN Sound and Tokimonsta will embark on a six-city train tour across Canada. Dubbed the Full Flex Express, the tour apparently is inspired by The Festival Express tour that took place along a similar route in 1970 featuring Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead and The Band. According to Skrillex, [...]

It's called the Full Flex Express and it's certainly the most buzzworthy tour to be assembled yet for this summer. Skrillex, Diplo, Pretty Lights, Grimes, Koan Sound and Tokimansta are going on a tour of Canada, on a train. Because how else would such a band of eccentric, partying musicians travel? By bus? No. The railroad it is. I'm not the biggest fan of anyone except Grimes but this tour will be a shit ton of fun if you can grab tickets. It's not just going to be a concert with six acts, but is being described more as a [...]

Skrillex is going to be doing a Canadian tour, and is bringing on some of his friends Diplo, Pretty Lights, Grimes, and KOAN Sound. They will be making 6 stops, all by train. As the Full Flex Express travels across Canada, they will all be working in a private studio car on the train. This idea is revived from the 1970 Express tour which featured Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, and The Band across Canada. If you are anywhere close to any of these dates, I would not miss it. And the rest of the world will see [...]
