Back in 1987, Alice in Chains were escorted from their rehearsal space by Seattle's finest police force due to frankly silly amounts of Marijuana being on the premises (nothing to do with them of course). This has absolutely no relevance to the fact that they’ve recently announced their UK tour dates. Click here for tickets.
AiC Fact Nugget:
• more than 14 million albums in the United States,
• released two number-one albums and 19 top 40 singles,
• received six Grammy nominations.
• ranked number 34 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.
• named 15th greatest live band by Hit Parader,

• The band's second album, Dirt, named 5th best album in the last two decades by Close-Up magazine.
• In August 2009, Alice in Chains won the Kerrang! Icon Award.
What a band! Their instantly recognizable brand of dark, moody rock has been a major influence on later rock bands and put them centrally on the family tree of modern rock music.

12 Nov - Barrowland, Glasgow
13 Nov - O2 Academy Birmingham
14 Nov - Manchester University
