Coheed And Cambria add UK dates

Coheed And Cambria

Coheed And Cambria have confirmed three UK dates in addition to their appearances at this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals.

They’ll play Glasgow, Manchester and London in the days leading up to the August bank holiday weekender, with support from La Dispute and mewithoutYou.

Frontman Claudio Sanchez says: “Over the years, the UK has become very important to us. The fact that we are still able to come over to play shows and experience festivals like Reading and Leeds, and have fans who are passionately interested in what we do – we consider ourselves lucky.”

Tickets for the new shows go on sale on May 20 (Friday). Coheed And Cambria released The Color Before The Sun – their first non-concept album – last year.

Why isn't Coheed And Cambria's new album about space this time?

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
