Shining have announced a European tour to take place in October and November, finishing with four UK dates.
The shows are to accompany the band’s seventh album, set for release in the autumn via Spinefarm Records.
Jorgen Munkeby and co hit the road after scoring a world-first by playing a show on a mountain ledge in Norway, 700m above ground level.
Spinefarm say: “The band had a PA system and generator flown up to the ledge, where they proceeded to blast out their patented blackjazz music to 300 fans who’d made the daunting five-hour trip to the Troll’s Tongue summit.”
And although the band admit the tour dates might not offer quite the same experience, they promise “a truly masterful and enthralling live show, along with the increased probability of making it home in one piece – although we won’t make any promises!”
Shining’s most recent release was 2013’s One One One. Details on the follow-up will be revealed in due course. Tour support comes from Caligula’s Horse.
