After a series of successful shows in 2019, São Paulo based bruisers Asfixia Social are heading back to Europe and the UK for their Planet Is Alive 2022 tour, consisting of 20 performances in England, Holland, Germany, France and Scotland, between July and August.

The Band will return to the iconic Rebellion (August 6), the biggest punk festival in the world, held in the English city of Blackpool, ending the tour after more than 10 shows in the United Kingdom.

Asifixia Social will also perform at the 30th edition of the well-known French festival Chauffer dans la Noirceur, on July 14, Bastille Day (French national holiday), held on the beaches of Normandy in Montmartin-sur-Mer.

Kaneda Mukhtar, lead singer of the band, explains the concept of the new tour: "the aggression of man has made the planet unstable and we are on the point of collapsing, we see this more and more frequently. Exhaustion consumption is a failed model and the planet is reacting. The Planet is Alive is a wake-up call."

After more than two years of the pandemic, the quintet returned to the studio, recording their first tracks in English to be released as singles which will eventually be released as the EP Planet is Alive, scheduled for February 2023.

This year, Asfixia Social has already performed several shows with bands such as Cólera, Ratos de Porão, Detonautas and Dead Fish in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, warming up the engines with a new tracks as well as recent hits like "Revelação" and "Censura Não 2021", a poignant protest against the current government.

This will be the bands third international tour after 2019's European tour and before that , 2014 had the guys touring Cuba where they recorded the documentary "Cuba Punk" (2015), which captures the local underground punk scene.
