ULI JON ROTH: Japanese Tour Dates Announced

August 16, 2008

Legendary guitarist Uli Jon Roth will release his first real rock record since 1985's "Beyond The Astral Skies" in Japan on August 20 via Marquee Records. The European and USA releases will follow a month later on SPV. Entitled "Under A Dark Sky", the CD is the first official release in the long-awaited series of Symphonic Legends, which is a cycle of music written by Uli for his all-encompassing SKY OF AVALON project. Fans of the SCORPIONS and Uli Jon Roth alike will be in awe of the guitar master once again as he delivers his next masterpiece.

To promote the release of the album, Uli Jon Roth and his SKY OF AVALON will play a tour of Japan in November, which includes two nights at Sun Plaza Hall, the very venue which SCORPIONS played 30 years ago, resulting in the recording of their "Tokyo Tapes" album.

To celebrate this anniversary, Uli will play several SCORPIONS songs from that period during his set. Each of the two concerts will feature a distinctly different program, consisting of music from all periods of Uli's musical journey.
