See You In 2015!
Posted by Meg
As 2014 draws to a close, we are gearing up for a whirlwind of cons, events and tours in 2015. With The Skull Throne‘s release set for March 2015 in the U.S. with U.K. versions and foreign translations to follow, there is a good chance that Peat will be appearing in a city near you this coming year.
We are planning many more tours and events, but this is what’s confirmed for this coming year. For updates, always check the Appearances section of the website.
