Lamb Of God UK Tour Dates with Dimmu Borgir

Posted by Paul Travers

It's a bit of a metal mix 'n' match, as Virginian sluggers Lamb Of God pit their, uh, NWOAHM riffery against Dimmu Borgir's gloriously bompastic symphonic black metal pomp with another 'special guest' yet to be added. It's supposedly a co-headlining tour but Lamb Of God will be closing the show each night. Make of that what you will.

All dates are all ages, although under 14’s must be accompanied by an adult.

The tour dates are as follows:

Wed 11^th Feb - Bristol Academy
Thu 12^th Feb - Birmingham Academy
Fri 13^th Feb - Manchester Academy
Sat 14^th Feb - London, Brixton Academy
Sun 15^th Feb - Glasgow Academy
