Slash Announces First Batch of UK & Ireland Tour Dates
Stereoboard
Slash has announced four initial UK and Ireland shows. More dates are expected to be added to the tour list shortly!
The rocker has already confirmed his appearance at two huge UK festivals this year with a performance set for both Glastonbury and Download. Slash has now announced that he will be playing solo shows at venues in Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh and Manchester this summer.
The guitarist, who was born and raised in the UK, is expected to receive high praise for his first ever solo album that includes an all-star line up. Highly anticipated, the record contains collaborations with the likes of Fergie, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and Adam Levine from Maroon 5.
The album is the rock icon’s first new material since the 2007 release of Libertad by his previous band, hard rockers Velvet Revolver. Slash admits that Velvet Revolver are currently on the back-burner for him, allowing himself to concentrate on his solo project.
Speaking about Velvet Revolver, Slash commented, "we worked really hard on trying to see if we could find a singer right after the last tour stopped and we were done with Scott Weiland. We didn't want to rush it or make any desperate decisions."
"As soon as I get back from this tour I'll call the other guys and see where they're at and then we'll reconvene and take a good look at where Velvet's at and who's out there and get that up and running. It's definitely not dead. It's just sort of dormant."
Slash will play the following UK and Ireland dates:
June 29 - Vicar St, Dublin
June 30 - Mandela Hall, Belfast
July 1 - HMV Picture House, Edinburgh
July 3 - Academy, Manchester

Jane's Addiction Debut Duff at Free Show
Jane's Addiction will debut new bass player Duff Mckagan in Hollywood on Wednesday - but only 100 lucky fans will witness the historic show.
The former Guns N' Roses star recently replaced Eric Avery in the reformed band and has yet to make his first public appearance.
McKagan will hit the stage with his new bandmates at Hollywood club Bardot for Wednesday's Cinco de Mayo party. Tickets will be free but only the first 100 fans who show up at the door will gain access to the tiny venue.
The bassist made his performance debut as Jane's Addiction's newest member on 30 March when the band performed at frontman Perry Farrell's birthday party in Los Angeles.
