King Cannons announce album launch shows for ‘The Brightest Light’

by

“THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT” ALBUM LAUNCH DATES THIS JUNE…

KING CANNONS don’t much care for what is supposedly cool.

Since day one, their manifesto has been to be a band for the people.

The type of band that actually means something.

A band with a career that is based on substance over style.

KING CANNONS’ debut album “The Brightest Light” will be unleashed on the world on June 22 with releases confirmed in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, The Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland.

Having recently returned from the biggest tour of their career, a month-long blast through Europe, KING CANNONS will embark on a series of East Coast dates on June 21. The album launch set will be a white knuckle ride through the band’s assured debut with a couple of old favourites and new surprises thrown in for good measure.

Shihad’s Tom Larkin, one of the best-loved drummers in the world, will join KING CANNONS as a special guest-drummer for the upcoming June dates. Having produced the lion’s share of “The Brightest Light”, Tom is the ultimate addition to the line-up.

Also joining KING CANNONS on the upcoming tour is Major Tom & The Atoms, featuring ex-Little Red baritone crooner ‘Major’ Tom Hartney; an explosive 6-piece rhythm ‘n’ blues orchestra that perfectly fit the bill as the main support for these national launch shows.
