One might assume DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, recently named headliners of the “SUMMERS’LAUGHTER TOUR 2013,” might rest up prior to the big package tour. Big package.

Butt, no… this is particularly neat considering a Dillinger live show is less of a concert performance and more of a full contact sporting event. Often times, those in attendance, in the first few rows need to be prepared to participate – willing or not. Consider this your warning.

Furthermore, I’d go so far to say the fella’s of Dillinger Escape Plan are greater athletes than any Major League Baseball player.

As we await SUMMERS’LAUGHTER dates, here’s the current game schedule for the boys. You may want to do a push-up or sit-up to help swallow the guilt of your lummox-like existance (and I’ll be right there with you).
