New Big Country Tour Dates


The Crossing Tour
Big Country who have completed a very successful comeback year which has seen them complete two sold-out UK tours and make high profile appearances at The Isle of Wight Festival, T in The Park, Oxegen and V Festivals plus, reunite with legendary producer Steve Lillywhite for the first time in 27 years, announce a new tour of UK for 2012. This will be the commencement of celebrations for their 30th anniversary and to mark it, Universal are to re-release The Crossing the bands debut classic album, in various formats. The band will perform the album live in its entirety.

Tony Butler says "First albums are usually considered to be a bands finest moment, for us it was a magical one. A collection of songs that were unique, original and above all, heart felt. We knew we were different and we knew we were creating something special."

Fantastic! Hope to get along to a gig or two! Why nothing south of London though?

I presume the Irish dates haven't been confirmed thats why they are not listed. A little note to say that something will happen would be nice.

Tickets purchased for Dunfermline, roll on Feb 2012. 30 years ago i couldnt afford tickets as i was a struggling apprentice so im making up for lost time.

Taxman issues at the moment but desperate to get tickets today or tomorrow for Dunfermline and Barras(never been before).... but I'm sure by now its inevitable I'll be on tour.... 13 Big Country shows in 15 days. Sounds like a rare treat!

if the intentions are not to tour the U.S., what can I do to convince you to at least do one date in America. I would drive 1000 miles to see them...
