RIVAL SONS WRAP UP HEADLINING EUROPEAN TOUR


RIVAL SONS have returned home after wrapping up a hugely successful headlining European tour on Monday night in Paris. The five-and-a-half week tour was in support of the band’s new album, HEAD DOWN, which is out now in Europe and landed in ten national charts upon its release.
RIVAL SONS drummer MICHAEL MILEY comments:

“Home at last!  What a tour.  35 shows; 41 days.  Thank you Europe.  Thank you UK.  Thank you Scandinavia.  Thanks to our team, our crew, local crews, and all who helped us paddle this mothership.  Wow.  We never could have dreamed to be received like this.  Have a wonderful holiday season!!  We’ll see you in the spring.  And always remember to keep your head down and keep on swinging.”

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY adds:

“I am quite thankful that so many people are finding the Rival Sons, and wanting to come out and be a part of it all, and I couldn’t feel more blessed to give these folks the rock ‘n’ roll they deserve.”
