The European tour coincides with the news and development of various major Lou Reed projects. The first, and most recent, is the collaboration between Lou and Bob Wilson on a theatrical production of Lulu, currently being performed by the Berlin Ensemble Theatre in Berlin.
Reed has also recently collaborated with renowned illustrator Lorenzo Mattotti to author an illustrated book of The Raven based on Lou Reed's adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's famed work. The Raven has been published in France, Italy, Holland and will also be published in the US and Canada by Fantagraphics in June.
Lou Reed will release a live DVD of his performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago in 2009. The forthcoming European tour in July features virtually the same band as showcased the live DVD. The Lollapalooza DVD will be released worldwide in July 2011
Reed will perform two other UK concerts this summer including the Hop Farm Music Festival (July 2), and a London concert at the HMV Apollo Hammersmith (July 4). Other artists to perform the Hop Farm Music Festival include Eagles, Bryan Ferry, Iggy & the Stooges and Patti Smith.
