Playing to our home crowd and our fans in Europe is very important to us, and we’ll be bringing a brand new show that will feature some surprises as well as the classics! See you soon!”
Guitarist Phil Collen added, “It’s a dream to be coming back to the U.K. and Europe in June and July next year. And to be coming back with our good friends Extreme is a bonus. It’s going to be an incredible night for all the fans!”
