Rock'n'roll icon, guitar genius, interactive progenitor, consummate singer/songwriter and record producer, Todd Rundgren, returns to the UK shores for his first concerts since 2005.
Todd Rundgren's classic albums include Something/Anything?, A Wizard, A True Star, Todd, Faithful, Hermit of Mink Hollow and 2004's critically acclaimed Liars and he will play four rare UK concerts that will follow the September 29th UK release of his long awaited new studio album 'ARENA'.
"it is a definite return to riff-oriented guitar rock," says Rundgren. "It's supposed to make you reflexively pump your fist and wave a lighter in the air."
The Arena Tour band will consist of Jesse Gress (guitar), Rachel Haden (bass), Matt Bolton (guitar and keyboards), Prairie Prince (drums), and Todd Rundgren (guitar and vocals).
"The concerts will be a straight-ahead, guitar-rock extravaganza," assures Rundgren. "We can't afford the flamethrowers yet, but we'll make up for it with aggression."
