Whitesnake have announced dates for a 2019 US tour in support of their forthcoming album, “Flesh & Blood.”
The band’s 13th studio set will be released in May, with the lead single, “Shut Up & Kiss Me”, issued in advance; further details are expected in the coming months.
Leader David Coverdale and the band – which includes guitarists Reb Beach and Joel Hoekstra, bassist Michael Devin, keyboardist Michele Luppi and drummer Tommy Aldridge – will begin a 7-week US tour in Newkirk, OK on April 12.
"We are truly excited and looking forward to playing across the globe in 2019 on what will be a continued celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Whitesnake," says Coverdale. "I am so honored and grateful to have toured this incredible world we share, for over 40 years, celebrating and enjoying unforgettable moments with millions of people… All of whom have joined me on this amazing journey… I truly love the shared experience and simply love my job and always will… Over four decades of reptilian fun! Thank you!"
A Whitesnake fan club presale starts Wednesday, November 14 at 10 am local time (password fandb), with general public ticket on sale dates varying by city, with some starting Friday, November 16 – for full details by event, visit whitesnake.com.
The US concerts will be followed a previously-announced series of UK and European dates that will start with an appearance at the UK’s Download Festival on June 14.
“Flesh & Blood” marks the follow-up to 2015’s “The Purple Album”, a project that saw Coverdale re-record classic songs from the Deep Purple Mark 3 and Mark 4 records he appeared on.
Whitesnake recently released “Unzipped”, a collection of rare and unreleased acoustic performances recorded over the past two decades.
