Gong have announced that they’ll head out on the road later this year across the UK.
The band have lined up a total of 19 shows on the This Is The Moment And Now Is The Time tour, kicking off at Nottingham’s Rescue Rooms on November 3 and wrapping up with a performance at Chalk in Brighton on November 25.
Vocalist and guitarist Kavus Torabi says: “Having ended 2019 by actually levitating The Paradiso in Amsterdam, 2020 will see the radiant vehicle of Gong play shows in Brazil and Japan, visit Chile for the first time and perform in fields across Europe, before returning to the UK for a headline tour.
“November 2020 will be the most extensive UK tour of this Gong chapter thus far. We will be performing an immersive, expanded and transformative set which promises, at the very least, to affect the complete dissolution of ego and sense of self.”
Torabi is joined in the lineup by drummer Cheb Nettles, bassist Dave Sturt, guitarist Fabio Golfetti and Ian East on saxaphone and flute.
Tickets for the tour are available from Event Horizon Live and See Tickets.
Gong released their latest studio album The Universe Also Collapses in 2019.
