Big Big Train’s “The Likes Of Us In North America” tour commences on April 2 and runs until April 19, with 10 shows in the United States and Canada as well as a co-headlining appearance on board Cruise To The Edge. The band then co-headlines the Gouveia Art Rock festival in Portugal at the beginning of May.
Today the band is announcing the support acts for the North America tour. District 97, The Twenty Committee and IZZ will each open one show. For the remaining shows a member of Big Big Train will play a solo set.
“On our tour last autumn we chose to have different bands open some shows for us, while keeping other shows ‘in the family’ to help to make each night really special, and the mixed approach worked very well,” lead vocalist Alberto Bravin comments. “We’re looking forward to sharing the stage with District 97, IZZ and The Twenty Committee and really recommend that you get to the show in time to see them.”
“There’s just so much musical talent in Big Big Train,” Alberto continues. “Our keyboardist Oskar Holldorff, violinist Clare Lindley, drummer Nick D’Virgilio and guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom all have lots of experience fronting bands outside Big Big Train and singing lead vocals. Their solo sets were very positively received in September and October in the UK and Europe, so we think fans in North America will enjoy them too. It will be a surprise each night which band member – or maybe even band members – are going to open the show.”
Tickets for all shows are on sale now, here.
