British Lion announce extensive headline European tour

The brainchild of Iron Maiden legend Steve Harris, British Lion’s sprawling tour will kick off in Faro, Portugal on 3rd November and wrap up in Belfast just over a month later.

Alongside Belfast and Planet Rockstock, there will be another UK show at Folkestone Quarterhouse on Friday 2nd December together with Irish gigs in Dublin and Limerick.

Steve Harris says: “It’s been great fun taking British Lion out on the road over the past three years and I’m delighted we have the opportunity to play some more shows in 2016. This club tour will be our most extensive European one yet.

“Due to the routing, we’re not able to get to Scandanavia this time round but will definitely see our fans there next time. On this tour we’ll be making our first visits to Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Southern and Northern Ireland, as well as a number of different cities in countries we’ve visited on previous tours.

“We’ve got a really strong show lined up including plenty of songs not on the British Lion album. The whole band is really excited and can’t wait to get out on the road again. We’ll be looking to record some more shows on this tour to add to the recordings we already have for an upcoming live album. ”
