Clutch Confirm UK Tour

Neil Fallon and co will return to continue supporting their acclaimed tenth album Earth Rocker, which was released in March and was shortlisted for Album Of The Year at the Classic Rock Awards.

The frontman recently said of the record: “I’m excited about how balls-to-the-wall it is. It’s more cinematic, and that was the approach.”

The band were forced to postpone some of their 2013 US dates after Fallon underwent spinal surgery as a result of a childhood injury. He said at the time: “I have been advised that I risk further damage were I not to address the situation. Rescheduling a tour turns my stomach, but I believe this is the wisest choice given the prognosis.”

Tickets go on sale tomorrow and support will come from groove-rockers Lionize.
