Wishbone Ash will be launching their U.S. tour next week and the trek will include select shows where the band will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their "Argus" album.
"Thankfully, before Covid-19 shut live music down around the world, we did manage to celebrate our 50th anniversary by touring Europe and other territories in support of our new album, 'Coat of Arms,'" says founding member Andy Powell (guitar, lead vocals).
"The USA was not quite so lucky, missing out on the party. So we'll be resuming the celebration for our friends and fans who missed out due to the pandemic."
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of "Argus," the band will perform the album in its entirety at selected shows on the tour (listed below with *).
