Symphony X

New Jersey prog metallers Symphony X have announced European tour dates for May and June, including a return to the Uk for the first time in three years.

"We are really excited about the upcoming tour," the band told Prog. "Can't wait to get back on the road and look forward to seeing everyone again very soon!"

The run will see the five piece, who released the concept album Underworld in 2015, hit eleven countries in one month – with the tour kicking off on May 7th in Lyon, France, culminating in Gelsenkirchen, Germany at the Rock Hard Festival.
