Paul Draper has been confirmed as support for Steven Wilson on some of his upcoming US tour dates.
Draper will take to the stage in Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, New York, Chicago and Milwaukee and they’ll be the first shows Draper has played in the US since touring with Mansun in 1997 in support of their debut album Attack Of The Grey Lantern.
Draper says: “It’s an amazing honour to return to the States to play eight shows supporting my good friend Steven Wilson. It’s been 20 years since I played in the USA and I’m really looking forward to performing songs from my solo records as well as one or two Mansun classics. I literally can’t wait to see you at the concerts.”
Draper and Wilson have collaborated on several of each other’s recent releases, including No Ideas from Draper’s EP One and on the title track of Wilson’s recent album To The Bone.
Ninet & Band will provide support on all other dates.
Draper recently confirmed a run of 2018 shows across the UK and Ireland in support of his new album Spooky Action which was released in August.
