The Dillinger Escape Plan Plots Reunion Show Celebrating ‘Calculating Infinity’
The Dillinger Escape Plan will celebrate 25 years of their acclaimed 1999 debut album ‘Calculating Infinity’ with a reunion show in Brooklyn.
The Dillinger Escape Plan will celebrate 25 years of their acclaimed 1999 debut album Calculating Infinity with a reunion show on June 21, 2024, in Brooklyn, NY, at the legendary Brooklyn Paramount. The band will play the album in its entirety for the first time ever with co-founder and original vocalist Dimitri Minakakis. Backing Minakakis will be founding guitarist Ben Weinman, as well as bassist Liam Wilson and drummer Billy Rymer. Tickets are on sale Friday, December 15 at 10 am ET and will be available HERE.
The Dillinger Escape Plan, renowned for their mind-bending musical compositions and legendary high-energy live shows, officially disbanded in 2017 following three unforgettable final performances at Terminal 5 in New York City. After years of unwavering fan support, an incessant barrage of reunion appeals, and numerous reissues, the band will return, honouring the album that initiated their groundbreaking journey. With its distinctive fusion of hardcore punk, progressive metal, and jazz, which left both fans and critics in awe, Calculating Infinity not only defined their sound but also revolutionized the game from the outset.
Dimitri Minakakis Comments:
“It’s been a long time coming for this opportunity to perform in a project I helped create over 25 years ago. Having the chance to celebrate 25 years of Calculating Infinity with my closest friends in life is just a dream turned real. I’m looking forward to seeing all the old faces, as well as all the new ones. The Dillinger Escape Plan has always been more than just a band. We were a force of nature. This reunion show is our way of thanking the fans who have stood by us and the album we made in a small basement in NJ all those years ago.”
Liam Wilson, who shared the stage with Dimitri soon after the release of Calculating Infinity and continued to share the stage with Weinman until the band Farewell shows in 2017, had this to say, “Amped to go party like it’s 1999 again and give this album the birthday party it deserves! These songs are still unfuckwithable and as a musician, it’s rad to have the opportunity to get back under the hood of this album and revisit my salad days, this time with more seasoning. Dimitri always had such a menacing presence and venomous voice, it’s gonna be killer to rip these songs with him up there with us!”
For many fans, the chance to experience the sonic atomic blast of The Dillinger Escape Plan performing Calculating Infinity live with Minakakis at the helm is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This reunion show offers fans not only the chance to witness the magic that sparked the band’s meteoric rise over the past 25 years, but to experience the album that started it all performed right in front of them.
The Dillinger Escape Plan’s mastery of their craft is unparalleled. Their live shows are an explosive spectacle of precision and passion. This reunion show promises to be no different. Prepare for an unforgettable night as they revisit the album that defined a genre and marked the beginning of their legendary career.
