Iron Maiden legend Adrian Smith and esteemed American singer/guitarist Richie Kotzen have announced a new headline UK tour for February 2026.
Following on from their critically acclaimed second album, ‘Black Light / White Noise’, which was a UK No.1 hit on the Official Rock & Metal chart, Adrian Smith and Richie Kotzen will be taking their show on the road early next year touring the UK and Europe in February and March 2026.
Says Adrian Smith, “We’ve been blown away by the reaction to ‘Black Light / White Noise’! We’re extremely proud of it, and to know that it’s been received so enthusiastically by fans old and new has been amazing. We can’t wait to hit the road next year with Julia (Lange- bass) and Bruno (Valverde – drums) of course, and start playing some of these songs live.”
Richie Kotzen adds, “From the moment we finished the record, we knew we had something special on our hands. It’s been a joy for us both to play together in the studio and on stage, and to write some of the most exciting music we’ve ever done. Bringing it to bigger stages and even more people in the UK & Europe next year is going to be great. We’ll see you all down the front!”
Tickets go on sale on Friday 27th June, find links at smithkotzen.com.
