UFO announce historic final show

UK rock legends UFO have announced plans to play their final ever live show in Athens, Greece, on October 29 next year.

The show comes at the end of a run of European dates that have been been rescheduled due to the pandemic, and is at the Fuzz Club in Athens, where guitarist Vinnie Moore made his debut with the band in 2004.

The band are also kicking off their final run of Euro dates with two unique shows: an 80-capacity public rehearsal in Hannover, Germany on June 20, and a private open-air concert the following day, with only 300 tickets available. Tickets for both shows go on sale at Eventim on October 1. Full dates below.

Singer Phil Mogg says, "After so many years with countless highlights, fantastic experiences and lots of beautiful memories – as well as some difficult moments, naturally – it’ll be a worthy finale to say goodbye to your fans in person. I know that there are bound to be some very emotional moments on both sides."
