Claypool Gold ’26 @ The Factory

Les Claypool has announced Claypool Gold, a wildly ambitious Summer 2026 tour that brings together three of his most celebrated and sonically adventurous projects — Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade — for a full-evening, career-spanning live experience.

Billed as a fluid, all-bands-on-stage event, each night will feature all three acts performing together simultaneously, with constantly shifting setlists, improvisation, and surprises built into the show. The format promises a mind-melting celebration of Claypool’s singular musical universe, blurring the lines between bands, eras, and genres.

The Claypool Gold tour arrives during one of the most prolific periods of Claypool’s career. In recent years, he has reunited the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade for multiple national tours, launched Primus‘ Interstellar Drum Derby global drummer search, and welcomed John Hoffman into the Primus lineup following the release of their latest single featuring Maynard James Keenan.
