Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) have announced two shows in the UK which will take place in May.
The Italian outfit were recently confirmed as headliners on the inaugural HMS Prog mini cruise which will set sail from Hull to Amsterdam on March 2-4 – and they’ve now added extra shows in Southampton and London.
They’ll perform sets at Southampton’s The 1865 on May 16 and London’s O2 Academy Islington on May 17.
The dates have been lined up in support of PFM’s latest album Emotional Tattoos, which launched in October last year via InsideOut Music.
The cover artwork was created by by Stefano and Mattia Bonora with art direction by ArtKademy and is said to look “towards the future” and was initially revealed as a mural painting in Milan in 2017.
The band said: “On the album cover we can see a spaceship headed by Franz Di Cioccio and Patrick Djivas, which leads the fans in unexplored territory.
“The new PFM’s world where music has not only one identity but embraces many different musical genres. Emotional Tattoos is an album which will print feelings on your skin.”
The two new UK shows are part of the band’s wider 2018 tour. Find full details below.
