From Loudersound.
King Crimson have announced a North American summer tour.
The band have lined up a total of 25 shows and, with the exception of their performance at the Ottawa Blues Festival, they’ll be joined on the trip by The Zappa Band.
The tour will kick off on June 4 at the Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, Florida, and wrap up at the Casino in Rama, Ontario, on July 12.
King Crimson bassist Tony Levin says: “The summer tour will be a throwback one for us in a few ways; great to be going back to outdoor venues, some of them the ‘sheds’ we played in the 80s– and we’ll be travelling by tour bus, old school!
“As for what pieces we’ll play, that hasn’t been decided yet, but will likely be a wide selection from the 50 years of Crimson repertoire. With seven players on stage, we can cover it all.”
The Zappa Band’s touring unit consists of Ray White, Mike Keneally, Scott Thunes and Robert Martin, who will be joined by Jamie Kime and Frank Zappa archivist Joe ‘Vaultmeister’ Travers.
They’ll play a selection of Frank Zappa classics along with rare compositions and are described as “the ultimate Zappa alumni band in partnership the Zappa Trust.” It’s also pointed out that this tour will not feature the much talked about hologram of Frank Zappa.
