Rival Sons Announce Summer 2025 UK Tour
Rival Sons have announced UK & European headline shows this summer in addition to the stadium shows already announced with Guns N’ Roses on the ‘Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things’ Tour and the appearance on Black Sabbath ‘Back To The Beginning’.
Frontman Jay Buchanan states: “What a great run to look forward to with a couple of new places to see. I’m so grateful for how far this music we’ve created continues to take us and the opportunity to tour with Guns N’ Roses is yet another pinnacle in the Rival Sons storyline. Let’s GO!”
Guitarist Scott Holiday states: “This is looking like it’s going to be a fantastic summer of incredible shows. Some of which are in cities and countries we haven’t seen yet! Along with these massive support dates, there’ll be a handful of headline shows across Europe where we’ll have the chance to stretch out and play more varied setlists.” He continues, “We’ve been very fortunate with such an array of exciting shows coming up, we’re really looking forward to getting back out”
The California based double GRAMMY® nominated rock’n’roll band Rival Sons were announced as main support for legendary rock group Guns N’ Roses last year. Visiting Georgia, and Turkey for the first time, Rival Sons look forward to meeting new fans and reconnecting with others:
Guitarist Scott Holiday continues: “This is a fun life. Every year we get to come back to Europe and reconnect with our friends and family – this year we’re doing it BIG. We love a big stage and this tour will see us stepping out on some of the biggest there are!”
Rival Sons were announced last week as added to Black Sabbath’s last show Back To The Beginning on July 5th. The band, who were hand picked by Black Sabbath for their final tour, The End which spanned 13 months across the globe, have been mentioned many times by Ozzy Osbourne as one of his favourite modern bands. The group even performed a medley of Black Sabbath’s hits at the Grammy Salute to Music Legends for Sabbath in 2019.
Holiday states: “It feels like we’re coming full circle, performing at the Black Sabbath Back To The Beginning event after The End tour. It really feels like a proper homecoming and salute the legendary band we were so lucky to become friends with eight years earlier. Couldn’t be more honored to be included.”
