SPINAL TAP Announces 'World' Tour

April 7, 2009

BBC News reports that spoof band SPINAL TAP has announced a "world tour" consisting of a single June date at London's Wembley Arena.

The tour marks the 25th anniversary of mockumentary film "This is Spinal Tap", which launched the band's career.

The band will be backed by 1960s folk trio THE FOLKSMEN, the focus of another spoof film, 2003's "A Mighty Wind".

SPINAL TAP's lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel commented: "If we're going to do a world tour on only one night, at least it's this world."

Bassist Derek Smalls added: "One night is not enough, and it's way too much."
