Geordie brothers Mark and John Gallagher formed RAVEN in 1974 and are touring in support of their latest EP release "Can't Take Away the Fire" whilst Alcatrazz will be touring in a soon to be released album - expected ahead of the tour. Girlschool are getting close to celebrating almost 50 years on the road, having formed in 1978. Their latest release, WTFortyFive in 2023, was an Official UK Rock & Metal Albums chart topper.

Alcatrazz frontman Giles Lavery said "We can't wait to get Alcatrazz back in front of UK audiences this winter, it's been a few years since we've seen you all" before adding further" . . . And to be out on the road with our friends in RAVEN and Girlschool it'll be great fun…The planet is shaking a bit of a weird tail-feather right now … but come along and let’s rock like it’s 1987!
