UFO announce April 2010 UK Tour Dates

Theres nothing better than some good old classick rock, and what could be better than the classic British Veterans UFO heading out on a UK tour?

They celebrated their 40th Anniversary in 2009 by releasing their incredibly well received 20th studio album, ‘The Visitor’, and have now confirmed a headline UK tour in April 2010.

And the dates are:-

22nd April Workington – Carnegie Theatre 01900 602122 Doors: 7pm
23rd April Middlesbrough – Town Hall 01642 729 729 Doors: 7.30pm
24th April Edinburgh – Picture House 0844 847 1740 Doors: 7pm
25th April Inverness – Ironworks 08717894173 Doors: 7.30pm
27th April Sheffield – O2 Academy 0844 477 2000 Doors: 7pm
28th April Leamington Spa – The Assembly 01926 523001 Doors: 7pm
29th April Cardiff – Millenium Music Hall 02920230130 Doors: 7.30pm

‘The Visitor’, was released June 2009 to ecstatic reviews. Awarding it 8/10, Classic Rock’s Geoff Barton wrote “This year marks UFO’s 40th anniversary. But instead of the usual bells-and-whistles box sets and career spanning DVDs, we get something rather more prosaic by way of celebration: a brand new studio album. Frontman Phil Mogg doesn’t want to go down the nostalgia route and believes UFO still have plenty to offer in the new-music stakes. Listening to ‘The Visitor’, it’s difficult to argue with this game-plan. Kicking off with the pulsing and passionate ‘Saving Me’, the 61-year old Mogg rolls back the years and puts in a vocal display on a par with his ‘Strangers In The Night’ heyday. There’s a Southern Rock and/or country flavour to several of the tracks (‘Stop Breaking Down’ begins like ZZ Top, ‘Rock Ready’ kicks off with some hoedown guitar), evidence of a slight tweaking of UFO’s sound. Throughout, American guitarist Vinnie Moore eschews his shreddy past to deliver a mature, commanding performance, contributing a wealth of sublime guitar solos. From the straight-shootin’ ‘Villains & Thieves’ to the pedal-to-the-metal appeal of ‘Hell Driver’, this is nigh on faultless.”
