Star Wars’ metal band Galactic Empire have announced that theyare postponing their UK tour until February (we assume they miscalculated the travel time from the galaxy far far away).
The reason for the postponement is to coincide with the band’s debut album, set for release via Rise Records on February 3.
Dark Vader, guitarist, says; “Greetings loyal subjects of the U.K. System. The rebel traitors have stolen our plans for the upcoming December 1-20 tour dates. We have been forced to re-schedule our sonic devastation for February 2017. All tickets sales will be honoured for the new dates, or refunded. There will be no one to stop us this time!”
Original support act Nick Johnson is unable to participate in the new dates so instrumental progressive act Sithu Aye are set to join the UK invasion.
Revised invasion plan:
Wed-1-Feb London UK 02 Academy Islington
Thu-2-Feb Southampton UK Joiners
Fri-3-Feb Milton Keynes UK The Craufard Arms
Sat-4-Feb Brighton UK Patterns
