The 6-date tour includes dates in Manchester, Birmingham, and London among others.

Fresh off a tour with Slash and the Conspirators, it seems acclaimed singer and session musician Myles Kennedy isn’t wanting to stay off the road for too long. As such, the grunge star has just announced a short tour of the UK set for November and December.

As he puts it in a short trailer for the tour: “What will I do? I just wrapped up a tour with Slash and the Conspirators, wrapped up an album cycle with Alter Bridge, now I’m bored.”

“What should I do? Where should I go? What’s next? I think it’s time to get back out there and play some rock n roll”, and that he will.

He’ll make stops at Glasgow SWG3 Galvanizers, Manchester Academy, Rock City Nottingham, Birmingham Academy, and Cardiff’s Great Hall, all culminating with a show at London’s Kentish Forum.

Kennedy is joined onstage by drummer Zia Uddin and bassist/manager Tim Tournier, with support coming from the legendary Devin Townsend.

As for what fans can expect on the tour, it’s been said the Manchester date will be particularly memorable, as it’s been marked as a “birthday extravaganza” (the singer turns 55 in November).

It’s also been said that Kennedy has been hard at work on his third studio album, the follow up to 2021’s ‘The Ides of March’, with the tour announcement teasing audiences that “perhaps [you] will even be treated to a new song or two…”
