Saliva, Drowning Pool, Adelitas Way, & Any Given Sin Team Up for the Snafu Le Tour, Fall 2023
Please note: I am not certain about the last four dates, except Sadler Ranch (because I found the show listed on their website). Everywhere else, including Saliva’s official site, has the tour ending on the 22nd. I think the other dates were added later, and maybe the lists haven’t been updated? So I just went with the tour poster.
