Chevelle also toured extensively during the summer and autumn months of 2016 beginning on May 16th where they performed the usual stints of headlining dates and festivals, playing alongside Nothing More in the fall. This was two months before they dropped their eighth effort “The North Corridor” on July 8th. The Chicago trio also headlined dates in 2017 where I went to my first ever Chevelle show with Black Map and Dinosaur Pile-Up exactly the same week, fifteen years later, when “The Red” was released just shy of three days.
The outfit jammed several more shows scattered around the Midwest and Great Plains during summer of 2016 alongside Bush in July.
Another gathering happened at The Joint in Las Vegas, Nevada with Disturbed for an arena tour which kicked off on September 23rd.
Key highlights for Chevelle are Pointfest on May 21st and The Paramount in Huntington, New York on August 2nd. Stops at The Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City and Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington, Wyoming in October.
These dates officially began Dean Bernardini's ascent as Chevelle's replacement bassist after Joe's departure.
