Big Country have confirmed a long run of UK dates for October, in what they have dubbed the 'Land's End to John O'Groats Tour'.
The Scottish rockers will play 19 shows across the country, beginning in the Shetland Isles on October 12, and will make 'symbolic stops' at both Land's End and John O'Groats.
Big Country recently wrapped up a successful run of shows in support of 'The Journey', their first new album in 14 years, and will hit the road again with something different in mind.
Each gig has been labeled a 'micro event', with individual setlists set to be crafted for each destination. “We built our audience through non-stop gigging,” founding member Bruce Watson said.“The band feels reborn and we are happy to go out there and prove it every night no matter how far we have to travel.”
