King Crimson extend European tour

King Crimson have added more dates to their upcoming European tour, which kicks off in Aylesbury on September 4.

Robert Fripp and co will now appear in Belgium, Italy and Austria in November and December, along with their previously-announced shows.

The band are joined by Jeremy Stacey in place of Bill Rieflin after Fripp reported: “Bill recently decided to take a sabbatical, a decision supported by all the Crimson Brothers.”

Bassist Tony Levin recently said that the three-drummer lineup’s tour would include new music – although he added: “I don’t know what it is at this point.”

Tickets for the newly-added shows go on sale at 10am on Friday (May 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.
