Royal Ruckus on the Road: 2016–2019
The music didn’t stay in the studio. The Cicadas years took us into coffee shops, breweries, festivals and house shows, with a listening party at Saltwater Brewery and stops on the Holy Fire, Extreme, Evacuation and Worst White Rappers tours.
Here are the stops from November 2016 through August 2019, with photos, flyers and performance clips along the way.
Between 2016 and 2019 we played 77 shows in 53 cities across 19 states.
