Steve Vai, Tool drummer Danny Carey, bassist Tony Levin, and guitarist Adrian Belew are teaming up for a tour honoring King Crimson's Eighties albums.
tour kicks off September 12 in San Jose, California, and wraps up November 8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ticket sales begin April 5.
The new lineup gave the group a completely different sound. “The whole Crimson catalog is special, but there has never been a band like the Eighties King Crimson, before or since,” Belew tells. “It was the perfect storm of elements, a rich, complex sound, yet still accessible. It was intense yet playful. We often played in multiple time signatures and utilized the newest technologies: guitar synthesizers, electronic drums, and the Chapman Stick. You simply had never heard anything like it.
Fripp put King Crimson back on ice following a Japanese tour in late 2021. But the devotion of their fans inspired Belew and guitarist/producer Scrote to dream up thetour as a way to honor the group’s Eighties work. “This music resonates deeply with me,” Vai says in a statement.
The setlist is still coming together. “I have chosen 14 songs from the trilogy,” says Belew, “and now I’m considering the muscular compositions, which ones we should do, and how to approach those. You have two of the originators of this music, and two of the greatest players respective to their instruments, so there’s no telling where we can go. Just imagining what Steve and I may develop together, I would say there will be surprises.
