Journey, Whitesnake & Thunder Announce 2013 UK Tour

• 6th Nov 2012

Big news for cock-rock fans: Journey and Whitesnake, along with special guests Thunder, are set to appear onstage together for the first time ever in May 2013, taking in eight dates across the UK. Tickets go on sale 10am on Friday 9th November priced at £45 (regionally) & £48.50 (London).

Journey’s Neal Schon said of the tour: “Looking forward to getting back to the UK and playing our best for you all. You guys are the very best, cheers and see you soon. We will be rocking!”

Whitesnake front man David Coverdale had this to say: “We had unfinished business. We all wanted the last tour to continue as we got closer to the end…after a year in the studio we’re ready to rock on stage again…we’re coming back for more…”

Special guests Thunder will also be joining the UK dates. In 2009 the band went their separate ways, only to return in 2011 for a triumphant live performance at the High Voltage festival in London, followed by 2 sell out Christmas shows. Thunder returned for another 2 sell-out Christmas shows in 2012, with the date first selling out in just 6 hours. The band has been lured back on to the stage for next year’s tour with Journey and Whitesnake. Perhaps this could re-ignite their desire for more.

Singer Danny Bowes says: “We’d already discussed possibly doing some shows next year, so this is perfect, and it’s a great bill, like they used to be back in the day, it’ll be a brilliant night out”.
