UK Rock Veteran Graham Bonnet Announces 2016 Aus/NZ Tour Dates

Veteran UK rocker Graham Bonnet has announced a run of performances in Australia and New Zealand with his all-star backing band in April next year.
Bonnet, best known for his work with renowned acts such as Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group and Alcatrazz, will be joined by a talented group of instrumentalists led by Fates Warning's Mark Zonder for his six-date Aussie tour, at which antipodean audiences will be treated to live renditions of classic cuts from throughout Bonnet's four-decade-strong catalogue.

Over the past 40 odd years, Bonnet has worked as a solo performer, with Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow, with Michael Schenker (ex-Scorpion) in MSG, and with both Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai in Bonnet's own outfit Alcatrazz. He's also been a collaborator in Impellitteri, The Party Boys, Anthem and Forcefield, and just got done supporting old MSG running buddy Schlenker and his new outfit Temple Of Rock on a sold-out Japanese tour.

Graham Bonnet's 2016 Australian tour gets under way on Wednesday 6 April at Perth's Amplifier; he'll go on to storm stages in Adelaide (7 April), Melbourne (8 April), Sydney (9-10 April) and Brisbane (10 April) before jetting across to New Zealand to wrap up his antipodean commitments in Auckland (15 April) and Wellington (16 April).

Tickets for all shows go on sale this coming Tuesday, 20 October, via Hardline Media. For more information, see theGuide or check The Music App.
