The Living End Jet Off for Worldwide Tour

The Living End are Europe bound to promote the continent’s release of White Noise. Chris Cheney, Scott Owen, and Andy Strachan will kick off their European tour in Belgium on April 18. They’ll then move on to Manchester and London, before heading across to Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Berlin. The lads haven’t toured Europe since 2005, so the fans are bound to be out in force.

After that The Living End will pop back home for a quick tour with Gyroscope in May. But they’re not sticking around for long. In June it’s off to Japan, before heading back to Europe for 17 more dates.
