Big Country for Belfast

Big Country have enlisted The Alarm’s Mike Peters as lead singer for their 30th anniversary tour, which will take them to Belfast's Mandela Hall on April 14.

The Scottish band, who formed in November 1981, will perform their 1983 debut album The Crossing as part of the celebrations, with the tour taking in 13 dates across the UK and Ireland.

Upon its release, the album sold over two million copies in the UK, and as such, Universal have reissued a deluxe version, which includes previously unheard material.

Tickets for the Belfast show, priced £22.50, are available from from [link]www.shine.net[/link].
