Melvins kicked off their North American Escape from LA tour in support of their 2018 release Pinkus Abortion Technician on September 3rd at San Diego, California's Casbah. The Fall dates feature Red Kross and Toshi Kasai as support, and Void Manes on select dates. The Escape from LA Tour wraps up back in Los Angeles on November 8th at The Echo.

Melvins have stood true to the same setlist and song ordering for their current run. Their 19-track set opens with "Sesame Street Meat" from 2014's Hold It In. Though the bulk of Melvins' sets per each date are the same, the band has mixed their shows up with a few different cover songs. Covers performed so far on the Escape from LA tour so far include Green River;s "Leech," Malfunkshun's "With Yo' Heart, Not Yo' Hands," Kiss' "Deuce," "Goin Blind," and Red Kross' "Standing in Front of Poseur" and "Charlie."
