The California rock group will be heading over to the UK and Ireland later this summer for a number of new shows. The dates come as an extension of their ‘Walk This Road’ tour, which celebrates the forthcoming album of the same name.
At time of writing, five new shows have been confirmed, kicking off with an opening night at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on July 11. The remainder of the shows continue throughout the month and include a stop and Manchester’s Co-op Live and Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on July 15 and 17 respectively.
From there, they’ll head over to London for a stop at The O2 on July 19, before wrapping up with a final night at Dublin’s 3Arena two nights later (21).
The dates join a previously-announced performance the band have planned for London, where they’ll be joining the Electric Light Orchestra as special guests for BST Hyde Park 2025. Others taking to the stage with Jeff Lynne that night include Steve Winwood and Dhani Harrison.
