King Crimson have announced that they will be returning to the road next month to launch a brand new U.S. tour that will feature The Zappa Band as support on select dates.
The Music Is Our Friend Tour will be kicking off on July 22nd in Clearwater, FL at the Ruth Eckerd Hall and will run until September 11th when they will wrap things up in Washington, DC at The Anthem.
Robert Fripp had this to say, "The Crimson Beast Is in Go! Mode. Totally excellent news! Much hooraying! Glad times are here! The Crimson Beast Of Terror has woken from its enforced slumbering and is venturing out to stomp flat the psyches of innocents not yet experienced in the hammering onslaught of King Crimson's uncompromising pounding - bish! bish! bish! - before turning on a beat to jellify hearts with gut-wrenching passion and soul-squeezing epic unfoldings to remind us that we are all mere subjects in the unfolding drama of the universe's unfathomable mysteries while simultaneously rocking out and having a great time bopping about with Tony and Bobby and Gavin and Jakko and Mel and Pat and Jezza too."
