British Lion, the band founded by Iron Maiden's Steve Harris, have announced details of an extensive European tour. The dates, which include three shows in Ireland, come in the wake of Iron Maiden's downtime following the completion of their 'Book Of Souls' world tour earlier this year.
British Lion will embark on a twenty-seven date European tour starting in Faro, Portugal at the Moto Clube De Faro on 3rd November, and finishing in Belfast at the Limelight on 6th December. The full list of dates is below.
Says Steve Harris: “It’s been great fun taking British Lion out on the road over the past three years and I’m delighted we have the opportunity to play some more shows in 2016. This club tour will be our most extensive European one yet. Due to the routing, we’re not able to get to Scandanavia this time round but will definitely see our fans there next time. On this tour we’ll be making our first visits to Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Southern and Northern Ireland, as well as a number of different cities in countries we’ve visited on previous tours. We’ve got a really strong show lined up including plenty of songs not on the British Lion album. The whole band is really excited and can’t wait to get out on the road again. We’ll be looking to record some more shows on this tour to add to the recordings we already have for an upcoming live album ”.
All dates will be club shows, except for an indoor festival show in Czech Republic at the Winter Masters Of Rock on 19th November and the already announced sold-out headline performance at Planet Rockstock festival in Wales on 3rd December. British Lion will also be direct support to Los Suaves in Granada, Spain on 5th November.
Special Guests on the British Lion club dates will be Voodoo Six except shows marked * below where support band details will be announced soon.
Tickets for all shows are on sale now, from www.steveharrisbritishlion.com.
