Les Claypool will hit the road in Summer 2026 with Claypool Gold, a wildly ambitious, full-evening tour that brings together three of his most beloved and sonically adventurous bands - Primus, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade - for one mind-melting musical experience. Each night, all the bands will share the stage all at once for a fluid show featuring wildly different setlists and surprises.
The tour will make a stop at the Walmart AMP on Monday, June 22 as part of the 2026 Synchrony Concert Series. Gates open at 6:30 pm. Show starts at 8 pm.
Artist presales start at 10 am on Wednesday, Jan. 21. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 am on Friday, Jan. 23. Standard all-in ticket prices range from $43.60 - $123.70 plus taxes. Prices are subject to change.
Coinciding with today’s tour announcement is the release of a brand-new song titled “WAP (What A Predicament)” by The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Claypool’s mutant-psychedelic project with Sean Ono Lennon. A warped meditation on morality, artificial intelligence safety and the slippery slope of optimization without empathy - set against a sonic backdrop of fuzz-drenched groove and theatrical psych-rock - the track finds Claypool and Lennon in peak Delirium form, alternately biting, bewildered, and barbed as they reflect on a world gone algorithmic.

The new song arrives amid a remarkably prolific run for Claypool. In the past few years alone, he’s led a full-scale reunion of his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, performing Pink Floyd’s Animals in its entirety across two national tours; celebrated his solo legacy with the Adverse Yaw: The Prawn Song Years box set (featuring Purple Onion, Of Whales & Woe, Of Fungi & Foe and more); and launched the Interstellar Drum Derby - a global open-call and wildly entertaining YouTube series chronicling Primus’ search for a new drummer. The search drew over 6,200 applicants and culminated in the addition of Shreveport’s John Hoffman, who has since joined Primus for a string of headline shows, tour dates with Tool and Puscifer, and the release of their explosive new single “Little Lord Fentanyl” featuring Maynard James Keenan.
In addition to playing guitar with the Colonel’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, Lennon has also kept very busy. He’s performed in an improvising trio with John Zorn and Laurie Anderson; and under his own name, released Asterisms, a wild instrumental album on Zorn’s Tzadik Records, which draws on psych rock and jazz. Besides his own music, he produced Exotica, the most recent album by British neo-psychedelic band Temples, he received a Grammy Award® in 2025 for his design of John Lennon's Mind Games boxed reissue, and he wrote and produced a short, animated film inspired by John & Yoko’s "War Is Over,” which won an Academy Award in 2024.
With “WAP” now streaming everywhere and Claypool Gold poised to take over the summer, fans are invited to grab their goggles, their empathy and maybe a can of tuna - and prepare for a tour unlike anything else on Earth.
