Myles Kennedy (ALTER BRIDGE, SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS) has announced a string of intimate headline dates in the U.K., his first as a solo artist.

Tour dates: March 17 - Birmingham, UK - O2 Academy March 18 - Nottingham, UK - Rescue Rooms March 20 - Glasgow, UK - The Garage March 21 - Manchester, UK - Gorilla March 24 - Bristol, UK - Thekla March 26 - London, UK - Islington Assembly Hall "Year Of The Tiger" will be released on March 9, 2018 via Napalm Records. The effort was helmed by ALTER BRIDGE's longtime producer Michael "Elvis" Baskette. Myles revealed in a recent interview that his father died because he refused to see doctors due to his Christian Science faith, an event which formed the central theme of "Year Of The Tiger". "Year Of The Tiger" is actually the second solo album Kennedy recorded, having previously completed a full-length record's worth of material over a several-year period beginning in 2009. Although that album was mixed in early 2016, Myles "decided not to move forward" with the project because "I'm kind of a firm believer that songs can have a shelf life with an artist," he told Metal Wani. ALTER BRIDGE is expected to take most of 2018 off from the road while the bandmembers focus on other projects. Writing for the follow-up to 2016's "The Last Hero" will begin later this year, with tentative plans to release the effort in 2019.
