Elvis Jackson UK Tour

From listening to Elvis Jackson it isn't immediately recognisable that they come from Slovenia, but they wear their national identity proud on their dual language website. They last toured the UK in 2011, but it hasn't taken them long to come back to the UK with a 14 date as the full press release below details:-

After their successful first UK concert tour in October 2011, Elvis Jackson will return to our shores in March 2012, this time for a total of 14 dates.

Taking place from 15th to 31st March 2012. In addition to the concert in London, the concerts in Dover, Leeds, Derby, Basingstoke, Hastings, York, Southampton, Huddersfield, Bristol, and Birmingham have been confirmed.

Slovenia’s leading punk rock band continue to attracted large audiences at home and abroad. In addition to their spectacular performance in KRIZANKE in Ljubljana (2.500 people), they performed at well-known European festivals, such as the T-MOBILE IN MUSIC festival in Zagreb (Croatia), DUNAUINSELFEST in Vienna (Austria) and SZIGET festival in Hungary. Their tours in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic and England attracted a great attention of the foreign audience. The fact that at the end of 2011 Elvis Jackson was awarded the Best Group and the Best Rock Group of the Year Award by the readers and listeners of the English magazine and radio, Somojo Magazine, shows that the group is becoming increasingly popular also in Great Britain.

The March 2012 tour will be announced by the hit single “This Time”, that looks set to do well at UK rock radio stations. Talking of their upcoming tour, the band said;

“Our tour in the UK in October was the first time we performed in the UK. We had no expectations at all. We played seven gigs and were really surprised to get such a positive response. The tour was truly a great experience. We realised that it's totally different from other parts in Europe, where we play quite often. We are very glad to be asked to return and can’t wait to tour in March 2012. We will try to come back again and again, and please, spread the news that Elvis Jackson are coming to party & rock the house again!”
