Meanwhile, the band will play at Billboard Live in Tokyo on 6 and 7 July.
Woody Woodmansey is delighted to be returning to Japan: “Really excited to be going back there, love the audiences, culture, food, Japan basically. We have a ‘black belt’ in rock and roll….So it’s the Isle Of Wight Festival to start, then UK, Ireland, and Japan….what a summer!”.
Tony Visconti said of this project “So to say I’m in HEAVEN when I’m playing with this band is understating how satisfying it is to revisit something I’ve been wanting to do all these years, and so LOUDLY, too.”
