Over the past few days there have been mounds of great tours coming through our mailbox. Here’s our summary of the good, the bad and the ugly.
DragonForce
The first dates ing the DragonForce record Reaching Into Infinity have been announced. Kicking off this October, the tour will criss-cross the country showcasing songs off the new record (not that you ever need an excuse to see DragonForce). A special launch show for the album will take place on the 12th of April at London’s Black Heart. The only issue we have here is that they didn’t announce the shows as “Touring Into Infinity”. Apart from missing that golden opportunity, this is very good news! Reaching Into Infinity is out on May 19th via EarMusic. The tour dates – all October 2017 – are as follows:
- Wed 4th Glasgow – The Garage
- Thu 5th Newcastle – Riverside
- Fri 6th York – Fibbers
