English prog-rockers King Crimson have announced a full slate of highly anticipated summer tour dates, coming off a recent statement in which guitarist Robert Fripp discussed the pending North American tour, along with the return of drummer Bill Reiflin from sabbatical, making the current lineup a Double Quartet formation. “Existing repertoire will be re-calibrated for the about-to-be-becoming King Crimson Double Quartet Formation….Jeremy (Stacey) and Bill are both multi-instrumental, so King Crimson is likely to be making a lot more noise than before. Even.”
The group will begin their summer jaunt along the West Coast with a tour opener on June 13th at Seattle, WA’s Moore Theatre, followed by dates in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Chicago, Montreal, Mexico City, and more. According to King Crimson’s website, the group will also play New York City and other cities in the Fall, dates and venue pending.
