GRANDSON ON TOUR WITH IMAGINE DRAGONS!
Touring in support of alt-rock heavyweights Imagine Dragons, platinum-alt rocker Grandson will bring his brand of fiery, frenetic and explosive performance to the stage! Known for his "polemical songwriting" (Interview Magazine) and "exuberant" (Forbes) live performance, Grandson is fresh off some of his biggest collaborations to date. From writing "Rain", an exclusive track with Jessie Reyez for The Suicide Squad, to tapping Travis Barker and pop superstar Kesha for "Drop Dead" and even partnering with the legendary Tom Morello for the gut-busting "Hold The Line," Grandson's live performance promises to be unforgettable.

grandson is the pseudonym of Canadian/American alternative artist Jordan Benjamin.

Since releasing his Modern Tragedy EP series, grandson has toured extensively across North America, Russia, and Europe, accumulated hundreds of millions of streams online, and received co-signs from the biggest names in rock and roll and progressive politics, from Tom Morello to Bernie Sanders. grandson’s debut album, 'Death Of An Optimist,' conflates personal anxieties with political realities. As the protagonist, grandson simultaneously explores the dark underbelly of his unrelenting optimism for change, by creating an antagonist, X. The record delivers a subtle A-side/B-side structure totaling twelve tracks that follow grandson and X’s dueling world views. grandson has collaborated with icons and heavy hitters in the music industry. Just this year, the platinum-selling alt-rocker collaborated with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, Jessie Reyez for "Rain," the exclusive single from the James Gunn-directed superhero film 'The Suicide Squad,” and for the end title sequence of the film, grandson joined forces with Chicago rapper Vic Mensa and Australian rapper Masked Wolf for "Oh No!!!"
