Next year just keeps getting better and better. After recently learning that Triptykon are to play Bloodstock 2011 and Rob Zombie is playing the UK next February for the first time in 12 years, today we learnt that Crowbar and Black Label Society are to tour the UK next year – sadly they will not be touring together. After a great headlining performance at High Voltage Festival and the release of their best album in years Order of the Black, Zakk Wylde and co will be playing eight gigs in the UK next February:
Feb. 14 – O2 Academy Birmingham
Feb. 15 – O2 Academy Newcastle
Feb. 16 – O2 Academy Glasgow
Feb. 18 – Cambridge Corn Exchange
Feb. 19 – Southampton Guildhall
Feb. 21 – HMV Hammersmith Apollo
Feb. 22 – O2 Apollo Manchester
Feb. 23 – Colston Hall Bristol
Similarly, Crowbar will be playing some rather intimate venues next January:
Jan. 14 – O2 Academy 2 Oxford
Jan. 15 – O2 Academy 2 Bristol
Jan. 16 – The Cockpit Leeds
Jan. 17 – O2 Academy 2 Newcastle
Jan. 21 – O2 Academy 2 Birmingham
I’m sure many of you are salivating at the prospect of live metal in 2011. In the meantime check out some of these videos:
