Robert Plant Presents the Sensational Space Shifters has announced the first of their 2014 European tour dates.
The tour will support a new album out this year, with dates beginning June 10 in Gothenberg, Sweden and across Europe including Russia, Ireland, Germany and more, with a special date at Glastonbury Abbey on August 9.
There have been plenty of surprises and revelations in music during the last twelve months. Admittedly, perhaps not all of them have had the same impact as the sudden arrival of records by David Bowie or My Bloody Valentine; nevertheless, a Tweet on June 3 from Edwyn Collins’ label AED carried its own quietly momentous piece of breaking news. “A new @RoddyFrame record in the wind, on AED, early 2014. It’s a lovely thing, just wait til you hear it. Watch this space, popsters.”
