British Lion are heading back out on the road briefly this year for a July European tour, including three UK dates.
The side project of Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, British Lion will play Norwich Waterfront, Brighton Concorde and FolkestoneQuarterhouse on July 8, 9 and 10 respectively. Support comes from The Raven Age.
Following the UK shows, the tour heads to mainland Europe for further dates, concluding with an open-air show at the annual International Motorcycle Convention at the Moto Clube De Faro, Portugal on July 19.
Harris said:
“As most fans know, I have strong ties with the Portuguese Moto Clube through our mutual friend Manu DaSilva, now sadly departed, who for many years ran Maiden’s Eddie’s Bar in Santa Barbara de Nexe near Faro. In fact the first ever British Lion live show we played was in the Clubhouse itself! When they invited us back this year, to play at the same festival Maiden headlined in 2011 in memory of Manu, it provided the perfect opportunity to schedule a few shows beforehand on our way down to Faro from the UK.
"We’re playing clubs again, same as we did last year, as we all really love the vibe and intimacy of getting up close and personal with the crowd. Although we would have liked to have visited more cities and countries on this run, it simply hasn’t been possible time-wise. This is for a number of reasons, probably of interest to Maiden fans!”
