RADIOHEAD - GOLDIE LOOKIN' CHAIN CONFIRM 2009 UK TOUR DATES

GOLDIE LOOKIN' CHAIN CONFIRM 2009 UK TOUR DATES

Welsh rap collective Goldie Lookin' Chain have revealed the details of their 2009 UK tour.

The Guns Don't Kill People, Rappers Do stars will take to the stage at 23 venues across the UK, with the tour kicking off at a free show at London's Metro.

The series of dates concludes with three shows in Wales in March.

GLC announced the Metro show last week as a warm-up for the UK tour, with the band planning to take a leaf out of Radiohead's book in asking fans to pay as much (or as little) as they like on their way out depending on how much fun they've had.

"The gig is going to be free, which is brilliant," said band member Eggsy.

"Although it probably will mean we will have to buy our own sandwiches and booze.

"All donations will be welcome, obviously during these times of credit crunching, just bring some spare change and prepare for a high energy work out."

He added: "You'd never see Thom Yorke wigglin' out on stage and then asking you for money at the end of the show. It wouldn't surprise me if we inspired him to play Wembley like this."

Their new single New Day will be made available as a free download on January 1st 2009 for one month only, through all major online retailers.

And GLC's new album Asbo4Life and single By Any Means Necessary will also follow in the coming months.
