alice in chains uk tour

 

On 9 November, Alice in Chains kicked off their return to the UK with a concert at Londons Alexandra Palace. This was a no nonsense, all out rock show and although only a handful of songs were played from the latest two albums, the setlist was full of favourite classics making it a night for the fans.

Every member of the band was on top form, with Jerry Cantrell's guitar work flawless as usual, getting the crowd jumping and head banging alike. A special mention needs to be added to vocalist William DuVall, who's performance of the classic Chain's tracks just went to show that he has now made the music his own and delivered a first class performance...

 

Earlier in the evening were two bands playing in support of the main event, the first of which appeared to be nothing more gripping than a bunch of middle of the road wannabe rockstars.Following the uninspiring opening to the night the crowd were then graced with the presence of Papa Emeritus II and his nameless ghouls, collectively known as the band Ghost. The Swedish band, with all their theatrics turned out to be an added highlight of the evening, putting on a great show with a fantastic atmosphere.
