Hootie & the Blowfish will play seven dates throughout the UK and Ireland this October following their 47-date U.S. and Canada run of shows.
The band will celebrate the soon-to-begin tour as part of National Concert Week with a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this Wednesday, May 1.
“I had the incredible opportunity to play the Royal Albert Hall in London last year, which was a bucket list night for me,” explained frontman Darius Rucker. “The fans there and everywhere else we played in Europe were so special. In talking with all of the guys about how special this year’s tour is going to be, we knew it wouldn’t be complete without a trip back across the pond to see our amazing fans there.”
