These will be the first shows since the loss of drummer John (Brad) Bradbury in December.

“We started working on these dates last October,” says Terry Hall. “Everyone was really looking forward to them and then just after Christmas Brad passed away. It was devastating but in our heart of hearts we know he would want us to continue with the plan he helped to put together”
