In celebration of their 50th anniversary, pioneering English prog-rockers King Crimson recently announced a three-night run of shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, set to take place on June 18th, 19th, and 20th, 2019.
While the Royal Albert Hall shows are the only 2019 dates officially booked for King Crimson at the moment, their website lists the dates as part of a “2019 Celebration Tour (Worldwide),” indicating that additional shows are in the works. Here’s hoping the “worldwide” language means they have some U.S. dates on the docket.
According to King Crimson’s press release, “The band’s packed three-hour shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many of the songs from their seminal 1969 album, In The Court of the Crimson King…The new 8-piece line-up plays many historic pieces which Crimson have never played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics.”
Tickets for King Crimson’s upcoming three-night London run go on sale this Friday, November 30th, here.
Last night, King Crimson opened up an extensive run of late-2018 dates in Asia with a performance at Tokyo’s Orchard Hall. For more information and a complete list of King Crimson’s upcoming tour dates, head to the band’s website here.
