Oakland, California rockers Y&T have announced some new dates for a fall European tour as they continue to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
The 6–week trek starts October 7 in Rome, Italy and will see the band wrap things up with 11 shows across the UK, ending in Bilston, UK on November 15.
Y&T formed in 1973 as a cover band known as Yesterday & Today; the group billed itself after the Beatles compilation album of the same name.
The band released their first two studio albums, their self-titled debut (1976) and “Struck Down” (1978) before signing with A&M in 1980, which prompted the group to shorten their name to simply Y&T.
The band had some commercial success with singles, including 1984’s “Don’t Stop Runnin’” from “In Rock We Trust”, before hitting the mainstream with 1985’s “Summertime Girls” from the live album, “Open Fire.”
Y&T disbanded in 1991, but regrouped in 1995 and continue to tour worldwide.
