Wayne Static, Drowning Pool confirm UK tour

Wayne Static and Drowning Pool have confirmed a 12-date UK tour in January.

The Static-X frontman will perform his 1999 album Wisconsin Death Trip in full, while Drowning Pool will deliver 2001 debut Sinner.

Static says: “It’s been far too long since we played the UK. For those of you still wondering what to expect from my solo band, don’t fear – I have the best band ever and the shit’s on fire.

“Add our friends Drowning Pool to the mix and this is going to be an awesome tour.”

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.
