LACUNA COIL ANNOUNCE HEADLINING NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER TOUR
American Spellbound Tour to Kick Off July 4th
MILAN, ITALY - Italy’s greatest musical export, LACUNA COIL, will make their triumphant return to North America on July 4th embarking on a five-week headlining trek with Kill Hannah, Seventh Void and Dommin. The much anticipated tour also marks the group’s first headliner of North America in over two years, so it is definitely going to be a must see event. LACUNA COIL diehard fans can rejoice as this will be your chance to finally see the band perform an hour plus set consisting of many new tracks from Shallow Life, alongside some older classics. Be sure to visit www.myspace.com/lacunacoil or see below to view their complete touring itinerary.
Andrea Ferro (vocals) further states: “We just got back from the great adventure that was the ‘Music As A Weapon IV’ tour in the States and let me tell you: our fans are the best! Regardless of these hard times with the economy, they were out there night after night to support live music, ready to rock out and have a good time! We couldn't have asked for a better start for the Shallow Life touring cycle and we really want to take the time to thank Disturbed and all of the traveling parties to make it such a great ride. June is coming and we're getting ready for the summer festival madness around Europe and to embrace all of our European fans and friends. We're gonna debut some new songs together with our old material and it's gonna be awesome!”
“Shortly after that, we'll be back in North America for the first leg of the ‘American Spellbound Tour.” We will be hitting a lot of towns and territories that we weren't able to on MAAW and sharing the stage with old time friends Seventh Void, our new friends Kill Hannah and Dommin. We are looking forward to having a blast as always in the U.S. and are sure you will too. Make sure to get your ticket soon and be ready to rock!”
LACUNA COIL have returned with the massively anticipated, new full-length release, Shallow Life, and have undoubtedly proven that they are one of hard rock’s most revered artists as the album debuted at #16 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. This impressive position marks the band’s highest Billboard chart entry, as well as the highest Billboard debut in the history of Century Media Records. The new effort was recorded with acclaimed producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Pearl Jam) at the famed NRG Studios in Los Angeles.
LACUNA COIL recently completed a stunning new video for the Active Rock smash hit “Spellbound” that was shot in their hometown of Milan, Italy at the world famous Dolce & Gabbana nightclub Gold. The clip was directed by Saku, produced by Apnea Film, and wardrobe was also provided by Dolce & Gabbana. The video can be viewed at
