The AWOLNATION side project The Barbarians of California is returning to the live stage.

The hardcore outfit, which is fronted by AWOL's Aaron Bruno, has announced their second-ever headlining show, taking place March 8 in Los Angeles. A presale is open now, and tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

The Barbarians of California played their first headlining show in October in Los Angeles following the release of their debut album, And Now I'm Just Gnashing My Teeth, which features Tim McIlrath of Rise Against. They also have a support gig scheduled for February in Chicago.

For a preview of a Barbarians concert, you can check out a newly released live video for the song "The Library" streaming now on YouTube.

AWOLNATION, meanwhile, will launch a U.S. tour in March in support of their new album, The Phantom Five.
