Baizley Hits Mastodon's Road

2026-09-14 by John Marinakis CONTRIBUTOR | 18 Comments
Baroness vocalist and guitarist John Baizley will join Mastodon onstage during their upcoming Poisonous Weapons Tour, which features support from Deafheaven and Alcest.

The announcement follows Baizley's appearance at Mastodon's intimate September 11 show at The Earl in Atlanta. He joined the band for six songs, including Oblivion, The Czar, Colony of Birchmen and Blood and Thunder. The performance also brought Curl of the Burl back into the set for the first time since 2013.

Mastodon said they enjoyed the collaboration so much that they invited Baizley to continue it on tour, performing a special selection that will revisit songs absent from their recent setlists.

Baizley will supplement a touring lineup that already includes guitarist Nick Johnston and keyboardist João Nogueira alongside Troy Sanders, Bill Kelliher and Brann Dailor.
The North American run begins September 16 in Orlando, Florida, in support of the band's latest album, Marrow Deep.

Seeing them in Toronto, got to say I don’t love this, not a fan of Baizley’s voice at all. Still pumped for the show and it’s cool they brought those songs back but yeah idk.

^ Given the nature of that comment, I'd wager something along the lines of: "Far less excited because my tastes have matured/less interested in either band due to subsequent output, etc."

This version of curl of the burl goes so hard. Bought a ticket to this tour already, mainly for Deafheaven, but this has me really exited for Matodon’s set too.

Isn't Alcest opening too? I saw them open for opeth back in the day and they were much better than opeth. Don't miss them.

He pairs well with them. Seeing them in a small club like this looks really fun

BTW I am always amazed how Brann Dailor manages to still look like a pop punk / Nu Metal frat boy at age 51...

I was actually thinking it's finally starting to catch up with him.
Troy has however gone full wizard, grey beard and beer belly

I saw Baroness open for Mastodon & Gojira, back in 2014. That was brilliant, though Gojira stole the show. To the point Troy was even saying to the crowd: Wow you guys really like Gojira hey? You're chanting their name in our set! Gojira played

Baroness were great at the time, but damn have they not lived up to hopes & put out some middling records since.

^ Harsh assessment on Baroness there... only album they've put out that I haven't really dug is their last one, 'Stone'.

Asheville show was a total blast. They busted out Colony of Birchmen and I damn near ascended.

Would be down if they made John a touring member.

I saw Baroness and Deafheaven a while back. Never really got into Baroness and while they were good live, they just don't do it for me. Also, following deafheaven is a difficult thing to do.
