Polyphia have announced a world tour, for which the modern virtuosos will be bringing some of the finest guitar talent on the scene with them.

The boundary-pushing band, led by Tim Henson and Scott LePage, have just put out their new house-music-gone-heavy track, CAN YOU FEEL IT, the first single from what will be their fifth studio album. They’ll soon be hitting the road to promote it.

They'll be joined by some of the biggest names in guitar playing with them. Australian prog-fusion maestro Plini and Intervals – the djent- and prog-metal-coded project from Wolfgang Van Halen’s favorite shredder, Aaron Marshall – will feature on select North American dates.

Plini has just released his latest album, An Unnameable a Desire, which sees him responding to a call of the wild as he explores new stylistic frontiers, and Intervals are fresh off the road supporting Karnivool.

Elsewhere, solo guitarist RJ Pasin – CAN YOU FEEL IT's do-producer, who has a similarly genre-defying style mixing metalcore, hyper pop, and electronic music – will play on all dates across North America, Europe, and the UK.

Ladrones, who use eight-string Strandberg guitars to mesh together metal, hip-hop, and regional Mexican music, are another act impressing Polyphia’s guitarists, and they’ll join for all North American dates.

It’s an assembled lineup that will stand as both a celebration of forward-thinking guitar playing, featuring some of the most innovative players around. But it’s also a tour that will kick-start a new era for Polyphia.

CAN YOU FEEL IT, which sees the band creating a wholly new style of music, has got the guitar community’s tongues wagging and sets the scene for their hotly anticipated new album.

They’ve already confirmed a host of guest stars. Henson’s new favorite guitar player is producing the record, which they’ve promised will be heavy.

French electronic genius, Perturbator, meanwhile, will join RJ Pasin on all European and UK dates as the band seemingly doubles down on the electronic party-music side of their evolving sound.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with VIP and Artist Presales beginning Tuesday, June 16, at 11 am ET / 4 pm BST.

Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning Friday, June 19, at 10 am local time.
