KILLING JOKE new UK headline show just confirmed York Fibbers, November 2nd, part of European tour which includes ‘THE GREAT GATHERING’ a special London event on November 4th

Killing Joke have just added an extra date to their forthcoming European headline tour over the autumn / winter period…

On Wednesday, November 2^nd, the band will now be playing a headline show at Fibbers in York – the start of a 26-date run kicking off in Ireland on October 30^th and concluding in Belgium on December 5^th, taking in 16 different territories along the way.

Tickets for the York show are on sale now, and available from:-http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/event/254443

 

During the tour, on Friday, November 4^th, the band will head the cast of a special London show at the O2 Academy in Brixton; this anticipated event will take place under ‘The Great Gathering’ banner, with Death Valley High providing main support (they feature on the whole European run) and The Membranes opening proceedings; there will also be a DJ set from Lx (The Orb)…

Tickets for ‘The Great Gathering’ are on sale now via:- http://bit.ly/KJbrixton.

In preparation for their return to the road, Killing Joke have unveiled the apocalyptic ‘New Cold War’ video directed by long-term associate / designer, Mike Coles… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDwx9JOy4LU

 

‘New Cold War’ is taken from Killing Joke’s 16^th studio album, ‘Pylon’, which entered the UK charts at No. 16 giving the band their highest official chart entry in 21 years and third highest ever.

As always with the Joke, ‘Pylon’ is very much music as ritual – raw, uncompromising and precisely-targeted lyrically; proof that Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Youth & Big Paul, the original KJ personnel, are currently delivering the best and most relevant material of their career, with no mellowing or softening of the edges getting in the way.
