With the end of summer fast approaching, most bands are in the process of finishing up the festival season and setting their sights on fall tour. Coming off an impressive summer with multiple huge shows across the country, The Werks have just added a few dates to their exciting tour with reggae-fusion band Passafire that’s been dubbed the Firewerks Tour. The Firewerks Tour will stop at renowned NYC venue, Brooklyn’s The Knitting Factory, on September 16th.

Both bands have a long-running history of putting on stellar shows, which have earned each devout fan bases. Ever since forming in Savannah, Georgia, in 2003, Passafire has been on the road, owning the reggae scene with their patented blend of hard rock, hip hop, progressive rock, and, of course, reggae. This unique mix of genres helped the band differentiate themselves from the pack, attracting fans from outside of the reggae world with their alternative sound and lights-out live show.

Similarly, The Werks have been on a tear this summer, crisscrossing the country and bringing their live shows to their ardent fan base at a number of summer festivals. This year, the group also brought back their own annual Ohio throwdown—The Werkout—which seems to grow in a new direction each and every year, and also delivered two electric, packed-to-capacity Phish Baker’s Dozen late-nights at American Beauty. Now, The Werks return to New York for another high-octane performance in New York City, crossing the East River to hit The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood.

We are so excited for these two powerhouse bands to bring this special tour to Brooklyn. Tickets for this show are now on sale and can be purchased here. For show updates and additional information, join the Facebook Event page.
