IQ plan exclusive UK show

IQ have confirmed an exclusive appearance at London’s Dome on April 3 next year – and tickets are on sale today.

The tie-in with House Of Progression will be the band’s only UK appearance before hitting the road across the US and beyond.

IQ’s 11th album The Road Of Bones was released in May, and gained them nominations for Album Of The Year and Anthem at the 2014 Progressive Music Awards.

Tickets for their April show can be purchased now via the band website. Before it, they’ll also play London’s O2 Academy Islington on December 20.

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.
