Legendary British heavy rock band Girlschool and U.S. Metal legends Alcatrazz are set to combine forces this winter for a co-headline tour, which is anticipated to pack venues all over the UK & Ireland.
They groups have announced Irish dates at Voodoo Lounge, Dublin (Friday December 3, 2021) and Limelight 2, Belfast (Saturday December 4, 2021).
Girlschool are a highly regarded, all-female British rock band that formed in the 1970s, during the new wave of the British heavy metal scene. Frequently associated with their contemporaries Motörhead, they are the longest running all-female rock band, and are still active over 40 years after their start.The band are currently working on new material for an album, which is due in 2022.
“It will be great to get out there again and see all our friends in the UK, Ireland, Europe and beyond," said drummer Denise Dufort. "The fans are always brilliant wherever we play, and we have especially great memories of Dublin & Belfast!”
Alcatrazz are a metal supergroup in the true sense of the word, with the addition of Doogie White, Alcatrazz is offering a high energy metal show of all their classic songs, plus Doogie’s own work as a member of the Michael Schenker Fest and Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow. Fans of melodic, fast, heavy and powerful metal will not want to miss this new era for the band.
"I am hugely excited to be playing in Belfast," Doogie says. "It's been a long time coming and it's good to finally get over the water. its gonna be a RAWKin evening that's for sure. Additionally It's been a while since I did a show in Dublin. I was last there with Yngwie. We had a rare old time that night and the audience made one hell of a racket. I am expecting the same this time".
