Whitesnake have announced they’ll set off on a Greatest Hits tour this summer.
It’ll kick off on June 1 and will take in dates across the US and Europe – including a headline slot at the Ramblin’ Man Fair in Maidstone, Kent in July. Currently, the trek is scheduled to conclude at the Alcatraz festival, Belgium, on the weekend of August 13-14 – although further dates will be added in due course.
The group’s last release was 2015’s The Purple Album. It was designed as a tribute to frontman David Coverdale’s former band Deep Purple, who are to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in April.
It was also meant to be the singer’s last work, but he admitted last year that it gave him a new lease of life.
He’d said: “It’s just revitalised me. I thought, ‘This is probably it’ – but I had an incredibly good time on tour. Everybody contributed to this project in the most positive way.
“It just makes it more inspiring to look at the future for new stuff with these guys. I have no desire to hang up my rock’n’roll sneakers just yet.”
