Velvet Revolver set to support The Who
The Download Festival mightn’t be coming to Ireland this year, but heavy metals can seek solace in the news that Velvet Revolver have been confirmed as special guests for The Who’s Marlay Park bash on June 29.
The supergroup will be coming armed with a new album, Libertad, which is described as being “more musical and all A-sides, no B-sides”.
As revealed in Hot Press before Christmas, lead singer Scott Weiland has also been helping with the assembly of Balbriggan rocker Lesley Roy’s debut album in LA.
“It’s almost there,” Roy says. “I’m finally into full production of the songs, and I promise they are rocking! I’ve been working with some new people including Dr. Luke and Dianne Warren – I’m a lucky gal! – and my old bud Max Martin.”
