tickets will go on sale Friday

news: Tuesday 3rd May 2011

Rock icon Slash has announced a UK headline alongside his festival appearance for July 2011.

Slash is a consummate live performer and his touring band have already planted their credentials in the UK with Slash headlining a sold out UK tour as well as show stealing performances at Download, Glastonbury and Wireless festivals in the UK in 2010.

2011 sees Slash return to the UK & Eire with the following dates confirmed…, as well as appearances at London's High Voltage festival, Ireland's Oxegen festival and Scotland's T In The Park:

Wed 20 July O2 Academy, Birmingham
Thu 21 July O2 Apollo, Manchester
Sun 24 July Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent
Mon 25 July O2 Academy, Leeds

For headline shows tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 6th May priced at £28.50 and eGigs will have links to buy them then.

His debut solo album 'Slash' was released in May last year and features an all-star roster of guest musicians including Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Rocco DeLuca, Fergie, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy, Kid Rock, Lemmy Kilmister, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Duff McKagan, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.

Roadrunner are set to release 'Starlight' as a single on the 25th July 2011. The single features a stunning vocal performance from Myles Kennedy (who also performs vocal duties in Slash’'s touring band). Early 2011 also saw Roadrunner release a deluxe edition of the Slash album in a 1 cd/1 dvd format. The CD featured the full album plus exclusive acoustic versions of 'Back To Cali' (Slash), 'Fall To Pieces' (original by Velvet Revolver) and 'Sweet Child O' Mine' (originally GnR) all featuring Myles Kennedy on vocals. The DVD features a 'Making Of The Album' documentary, track by track with Slash, in addition to a selection of live and promo videos.
