Rival Sons have announced a 30-date run of European shows. The UK leg of the Darkfighter tour will kick off at the The Roundhouse in London on October 13 and climax at the Southampton Guildhall on October 22, before the band embark on the European leg two days later at La Carrière in Nantes, France. Full dates below.
"Dear friends on the other side of the pond," advises guitarist Scott Holiday. "Darkfighter is coming for you! And Lightbringer is coming for you too!"
Holiday is referring to new Rival Sons album Darkfighter, due for release on June 2 – it was originally slated for March 10 – and a second album, Lightbringer, which will arrive later in the year. The band's last album was 2019's Feral Roots.
"We’re finally able to come back to you and bring you new music!" confirms Holiday. "Music that has been firmly situated in our hearts. Nothing makes me happier than to think about experiencing these albums together and making them into something entirely new and different every night. Let’s make something symbiotic, alive, that we’ll want to remember forever!”
Tickets go on sale from the Rival Sons website from April 14. The band have released three tracks from Darkfighter so far: Nobody Wants To Die emerged in October, Rapture arrived in January, and Bird In The Hand was released last month. Last week, the band also launched a video for Bird In The Hand.
Rival Sons have recently finished a short run of North American dates supporting Greta Van Fleet, and will embark on the US leg of the Darkfighter tour at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, OK, on May 11. Full dates below.
