Claypool Gold: Primus, Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade & The Claypool Lennon Delirium at KettleHouse Amphitheater

Claypool Gold 2026

Well folks -we made it. The best time of the year is FINALLY here - Summer 2026! The weather is getting perfect and a first chance to be outside all day long - sign us up! This year here at Kettlehouse we’ve got a ton of our favs coming to town to steal the crown on who’s the best rock and roller across the land - and, yeah we’re gonna need you front row for this one. ‘Cause on Monday May 25th, the oh so elusive and cool Les Claypool is bringing his very own musical maniacs circus to the stage - going from Atlanta to the banner of Claypool Gold, and bringing on a list of talents here too. Including Primus, Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, and The Claypool Lennon Delirium all on one stage in one night - and if you miss it, they’re GONE y’all. Hitting stages from Georgia to California, NYC and everywhere in between- Summer shows like this are the ones you end up talking about for years after, the kind where you show up early, stay late, and leave wondering how your face just got melted three different ways. And lucky for us - we got a front row seat to see all the chaos and beauty unfolding right before our eyes, how lucky are we?! .

Leslie Claypool was born on September 29, 1963 in Richmond, California. From a young age he was always musically inclined - a lead singer, a bassist in his high school band, founder of one of the most influential later, and a songwriter for his early project Primus. Claypool’s playing style feels like watching a creative mastermind at work - mixes tapping and lapping over each other, flamenco-like strumming, whammy bar bends, and inventive slapping that helped redefine what the bass can do in rock music. Beyond Primus, he’s been involved in solo projects and things with other artists he respects along the way. - like the supergroups Oysterhead and experimental projects with Colonel Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, Duo de Twang, and The Claypool Lennon Delirium with Sean Ono Lennon. The fun here isn’t just that three of his most beloved bands are touring together — it’s that every set has its own personality and rhythmic gravity. One minute we’ll be locked into Primus’ funky, twisted grooves, the next - floating through Frog Brigade’s extended jams, and before you know it you’re deep in the psychedelic swirl of Claypool Lennon Delirium. And THAT folks is why you need to be here when it all goes down.

Well well well - we’ve said it all! Now it’s your turn. Tell ALLLL your friends. And then? we’ll see you right here for the best show of the season!
