Mike Peters-fronted Big Country fleshes out North American summer tour schedule

Big Country

Since we last week checked in back in March,  the reconfigured Big Country — with The Alarm’s Mike Peters filling in for late frontman Stuart Adamson — has fleshed out its North American tour itinerary, with at least 24 concerts now scheduled in the U.S. and Canada, beginning tonight in New Jersey and running through late July.

The band, which also now features original Simple Minds bassist Derek Forbes, opens the trek tonight in Asbury Park, and has dates plotted through July 14, and then another show, in New Hampshire, set for two weeks later on July 27, suggesting more dates likely are to be added toward the end of the current itinerary.

The band is touring in support of its new album The Journey.

  1. SWEET!!! As always, you seem to share the new first, Matt. Many thanks. Will be sure to get tix for the Boardwalk show as soon as they go on sale–site of that infamous Peter Murphy show! Imagine a dive bar out of “Porky’s” where both cowboys and metalheads feel very much at home. Then think of PM playing there and the insanity factor quadruples! Big Country will own the place, though.

    Am still missing Stuart–and now Tony–but gotta get out and show the love. And was thinking the other day that if Bruce’s son eventually takes the reins, BC may one day have a longer run than the Stones!

  2. Not a single midwest stop. Not even Chicago.

  3. Is this right? I’m in Salt Lake City (not AZ!) And there’s no word on them for a show next week.
