UK metal masters Raven will set out on a North American tour later this year, featuring a full performance of their second full-length album ‘Wiped Out,’ which was released 40 years ago. All dates are posted below.
Founding member John Gallagher comments on the run, “Really looking forward to playing one of my personal favorite RAVEN albums, Wiped Out, in its entirety on this upcoming North American tour. There are a few songs on the album we never got to ever play live so that’s gonna be a blast!”
Here’s more from the official trek reveal, “Joining Raven on the tour will be Riot Act, who will perform a Riot repertoire from their classic era (1977-1982). In a cynical musical landscape, where bands are not “gangs” but faceless corporations, RAVEN is a band that is real and proud of it! The Wiped Out 40th Anniversary Tour will kick off on September 22nd in Jacksonville, Florida with more dates are to be announced soon.”
