They'll end European tour with 3 UK dates

Helmet will end a European tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their Betty album with three UK shows in October.

The dates have been added by popular demand after the band detailed a two-month trek to mark two decades since the launch of their groundbreaking third album.

Each show will see Page Hamilton and co performing the entire 14-track record from beginning to end. Hamilton admits: “I guess we learned our lesson – don’t announce a massive European tour without including UK dates… people get upset.”

Tickets for the Glasgow and Manchester shows are on sale now, while the London gig goes on sale on Thursday.
