I knew it! Two weeks ago, I speculated that the King was planning a tour and I was proven correct today, as Metal Blade confirmed that King Diamond will indeed be heading out on the road this fall.
Kicking off October 11th in Atlanta, GA, the tour will run for about a month wrapping up at Fun Fun Fun Fest on November 8th. Tickets go on sale this Friday. A special pre-sale through King's SHOWstubs.com fan club will kick off tomorrow, June 24th and fans would get a special jacket with that order.
From the press release:
King Diamond will be joined on stage, of course, by long time band members Andy LaRocque, Mike Weed, Hal Pacino, and Matt Thompson. Additionally, North American fans will be bearing witness to the band's full European festival stage show. These will be the most ambitious and largest productions in North America in the band's entire history. A special guest supporting act for the tour will be announced at a later date.
