Last updated 25th Feb 2022
King King and When Rivers Meet have been added to the line-up at Planet Rock’s Rocktober this autumn.
Joining previously confirmed headliner Kenny Wayne Shepherd, the two critically lauded blues artists will perform at all three Rocktober dates.
Rocktober opens at Bristol O2 Academy on Saturday 15th October 2022 and then calls in at London O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (Tuesday 18th October) and Sheffield O2 Academy (Saturday 22nd October).
Tickets to all three Rocktober shows are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
When Rivers Meet’s appearance at Rocktober will follow their extensive headline UK tour throughout April and May 2022.
The shows support the November 2021 release of When Rivers Meet’s second studio album ‘Saving Grace’, which has spawned the singles ‘Testify’, ‘Never Coming Home’ and ‘He’ll Drive You Crazy.’
