Riverside confirm Time Machine tour

Riverside have confirmed six UK dates as part of a European run to support the launch of their sixth album.

The follow-up to Shrine Of New Generation Slaves is entitled Love, Fear And The Time Machine, and it’s out in September via InsideOut.

The Polish band say: “Recordings are going really well. We’re almost at the end and we’re happy with how the new compositions are turning out.

“Believe it or not – but this might become the Riverside album you’ve been waiting for.”

Frontman Mariusz Duda announced the title in January and said: “Our sixth album, six words in the title, sixty minutes of music – and we won’t be playing hard rock any more. There will be many more melodies dressed in completely different shades.

“We’re evolving as a band; we want to keep recording different albums that are simply great to listen to. The new one will be like a deep breath of fresh air.”

Riverside play the inaugural Ramblin’ Man Fair at Mote Park, Kent on July 26 as part of a summer tour, before returning to the UK in October:

Oct 20: London Islington Assembly Hall

Oct 21: Bristol Marble Factory

Oct 22: Manchester Ritz

Oct 23: Glasgow O2 ABC2

Oct 24: Northampton Roadmenders

Oct 26: Southampton The 1865

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.
