Hail! – featuring David Ellefson (F5, ex-Megadeth), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura), Tim “Ripper” Owens (ex-Judas Priest, Iced Earth, Yngwie Malmsteen) and Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) – have announced their first ever shows in the United States. The first show will take place in NYC at B.B. King in Times Square on January 26th, 2010 – tickets are $20 in advance or $25 day of show.
Hail! released the following statement:
The long wait is finally over! All-star band, HAIL!, have announced their first United States shows at BB Kings in New York City on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 and at Showcase Live in Foxborough, MA just outside Boston on Wednesday, January 27th. A third date is rumored but unconfirmed at this time.
While HAIL! has played all over the globe in the past year, they have yet to grace a North American stage and now the much anticipated event is here. “We can’t hold all the rabid fans off any longer,” said singer Tim “Ripper” Owens, “We only have a few days together on the east coast so we’re bringing it to you!”
“We’re really excited! Although it’s only a few shows, and obviously we’d love to play a full tour of the entire US, New York and Boston are two great cities to start with and the fans there are tremendous. Between Mike Portnoy playing drums with us and all the friends we know in this area (hint, hint) I’d ask Santa for a tent and start camping out now for my tickets!” advised Andreas Kisser, “these shows are going to be sick!’
