Academy Events and the DHP in association with The Agency Group are pleased to announce Europe’s “Bag of Bones UK Tour 2012”.
Hot off the heels of last year’s Balls N’ Banners UK Tour and sold out concert at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Sweden’s biggest hard rock band undertakes a nationwide November 2012 UK Tour. Very special guest on all UK dates is the US rock band StoneRider.
All tickets are priced £18.50, except London Shepherd’s Bush Empire (£20.00).
Tour dates:
Best known for their 1986 global classic rock anthem, The Final Countdown, the Swedish rockers received unanimous praise a heavier bluesy, hip-shaking metal sound. The new album, Bag of Bones, is produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Stone Cherry, Aerosmith, Black Country Communion, Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin). Celebrated blues rock guitarist, Joe Bonamassa, makes a guest appearance on the title track, Bag of Bones.
Europe vocalist Joey Tempest believes that 2009’s album was a significant turning point for the band. That album proved to be Europe’s most important record since The Final Countdown. Now, with the highly anticipated release of Bag of Bones, Tempest says Europe is “ready to do some serious damage.”

StoneRider special guests on Europe’s ‘Bag of Bones’ UK November 2012 Tour
StoneRider are a young, classic rock-influenced rock and roll band from Atlanta, Georgia. Since the 2008 release of their critically-acclaimed debut Three Legs of Trouble, they have toured the US twice and opened for the likes of Uriah Heep, Robin Trower, Graveyard and Radio Moscow.
Watch Juice Man from Three Legs of Trouble:
For the 2012 follow-up album, Fountains Left To Wake, the band flexed their studio muscles and crafted a double LP reminiscent of Exile on Main Street with doses of Physical Graffiti - not as a sound-alike, but as a celebration of all StoneRider love about rock and roll. The new album blends a wiser, more robust rock sound with psychedelic rock’n’roll jook-joint boogie.
Vocalist and guitarist Matt Tanner evokes a bit of Humble Pie's Steve Marriott this time around, while maintaining the previous record's guitar nods to Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. Jason Krutzky's drumming is tight and deep in the groove, ebbing and flowing with the bass lines of producer-turned-bandmate Adam McIntyre, whose style blends Ronnie Lane and Duck Dunn with John Paul Jones.
