Swans have announced a European tour with support from Anna von Hausswolff.
The run of 31 dates will kick off in Belgium on October 6 and wrap up in the Netherlands on November 13.
Swans announced the dates to tie in with the release of their latest album The Glowing Man, out on June 17.
Last year, Michael Gira and co issued a limited-edition double CD entitled The Gate, with cash raised from sales going towards recording costs for the follow-up to 2014’s To Be Kind – the last album planned with the band’s current lineup.
Hausswolff, meanwhile, will appear in support of her 2015 album The Miraculous. And she says she’s preparing something special for her performances.
- Architects forced to cancel European festival tour
- Iron Maiden's Eddie ruled too scary for Lithuanian children
- Sabaton issue lyric video for The Lost Battalion
- Whitechapel lead Impericon Never Say Die! tour of Europe
She says: “I have to pinch my arm while writing this. In October I’ll join Swans as their support act on their five-week long European tour. If you know me and know my music you might also have guessed or read that I’m a huge fan of theirs.
“I love their music so much. This is a dream coming true and to celebrate this adventure I will prepare a special set, with a new setting and some new songs.”
