Their debut album All Hell Breaks Loose will hit shelves on May 24 and today Black Star Riders make a date with Dublin.

The group, which features Scott Gorham, Ricky Warwick, Damon Johnson and Marco Mendoza along with drummer Jimmy De Grasso, will play The Academy on December 14.

Tickets are priced at €25 and go on sale Thursday May 2.

Still a long way off, it will be a fantastic opportunity to hear their new material live. The band recorded All Hell Breaks Loose with seminal producer Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, Rush) in his California studio.
