They're playing six shows next year
Last updated 1st Jun 2021
Blackberry Smoke have announced six UK & Ireland concerts for February and March 2022 as part of a much larger European trek.
The Atlanta, Georgia collective will bring their sumptuous southern rock sounds to Birmingham O2 Academy on Sunday 27th February 2022, and they will call in at Glasgow O2 Academy, Belfast Telegraph Building, Dublin Olympia and Manchester Academy before culminating at London Roundhouse on Sunday 6th March 2022.
The sextet of headline shows follow an extensive run of shows on mainland Europe earlier in the February. Support on all UK & European dates comes from Nashville four-piece The Steel Woods.
Blackberry Smoke frontman and guitarist, Charlie Starr, says: "We have been away too long, home too long, and it is past time to get back to the UK and Europe for some rock n' roll shows with all of our brothers, sisters, friends and family there. We hope we see everyone out for these amazing shows!"
Blackberry Smoke tickets:
Tickets to the Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London concerts on Blackberry Smoke’s tour go on sale from Absolute Radio Country Tickets at 9am on Friday 4th June.
Today’s tour announcement follows the release of Blackberry Smoke’s seventh studio album ‘You Hear Georgia’ on Friday (28th May).
The record features 10 all-new songs – including the gems ‘All Over The Road’ and title track ‘You Hear Georgia’ - and it was produced by their fellow Georgian native, esteemed producer Dave Cobb (Rival Sons, Whiskey Myers, Lady Gaga).
‘You Hear Georgia’ also features special guest appearances from outlaw country musician Jamey Johnson (Lonesome For A Livin’) and Gov't Mule’s Warren Haynes (All Rise Again), together with background vocals from The Black Bettys.
As the title suggests, the songs on ‘You Hear Georgia’ pay homage to Georgia’s rich musical heritage and honour people, places and sounds of Blackberry Smoke’s beloved home state.
