January 6, 2012

Legendary rock guitarist Michael Schenker has announced that his brand new classic rock band TEMPLE OF ROCK will embark on a four-date U.K. tour in May. The dates are as follows:

May 09 - Wolverhampton - The Wulfren
May 10 - Manchester - HMV Ritz
May 11 - Glasgow - O2 ABC
May 12 - London - O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire

Tickets for all four "Temple Of Rock" U.K. concerts go on general sale Friday, January 13 at 10 a.m.

Planet Rock radio listeners in the U.K. will be treated to a special 48-hour "Temple Of Rock" U.K. tour ticket pre-sale from 9 a.m. on Wednesday, January 11. Ents24 will run an additional 24-hour pre-sale from Thursday, January 12.

Following his acclaimed 2009/10 world tour performing the "MSG 30th Anniversary Show", where Michael was joined by (original MSG vocalist) Gary Barden, alongside a host of other classic rock legends, including Carmine Appice, Simon Phillips, Chris Slade and Chris Glen, Schenker's "Temple Of Rock" is ready to conquer the U.K. with a brand new kick-ass, all-star line-up.

Boasting ex-SCORPIONS stars Herman Rarebell and Francis Buchholz on drums and bass, respectively, MSG stalwart Wayne Findlay on keyboards and the magnificent Doogie White (ex-RAINBOW, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) on vocals, these "Temple Of Rock" concerts will include a plethora of hits spanning Michael Schenker's colourful career.

Songs to be performed by the TEMPLE OF ROCK include UFO's "Rock Bottom" and "Doctor Doctor", MSG's "Armed And Ready" and "Into The Arena", and the SCORPIONS classics "Another Piece of Meat" and "Rock You like A Hurricane". In addition, Schenker will perform brand new songs from the recently released "Temple Of Rock" album alongside other solo favorites such as "Before The Devil Knows You're Dead", "Miss Claustrophobia" and "Hangin On".
