British prog rock band Big Big Train has announced a series of European and UK tour dates set for September and October, including a first visit to Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre on 17th September.
The band released their new studio album, “The Likes Of Us,” earlier this year. This album is their first with the new label, InsideOut Music, and the first full-length release featuring vocalist Alberto Bravin.
Greg Spawton, the band’s bassist and founding member, expressed his excitement for the upcoming tour: “For this tour, we’ve decided to return to some of our favourite venues. But we were also keen to return to Wales for the first time since 2019 and get back to the northeast and northwest of England as well as visiting some parts of the country where Big Big Train hasn’t played before. While some fans travel vast distances to see us live, we recognise that others aren’t able to do so, and therefore we’re trying to bring the show to them.”
Vocalist Alberto Bravin also shared his enthusiasm: “We’re looking forward to getting back on the road this autumn around the UK and Europe. Following the success of last year’s The Journey Continues tour, we can’t wait to do it all again. On this tour in autumn, we will be playing a significant amount of The Likes Of Us as well as some Big Big Train classics and a few surprises.”
Drummer Nick D’Virgilio concluded, “Last year’s Big Big Train shows were so much fun. We made some changes to the setlist every night. It was very challenging but it kept things fresh for both us and the audience, so we’re going to take a similar approach on this tour to make every show genuinely unique.”
Big Big Train’s tour promises to deliver a mix of new tracks from “The Likes Of Us” and beloved classics, ensuring each performance is a distinctive experience. Fans can look forward to a series of memorable shows filled with the band’s signature sound and a few unexpected delights.
Tickets for the Wyvern Theatre show can be purchased via the band’s official website or from the Wyvern website here.
