Billy Gibbons Is Off On A “European Vacation”

in News

Billy Gibbons is heading off to Europe for a month of concerts across June.

Billy will perform at Sweden Rock Festival in Solvesborg on June 10 and play 20 shows with the last in Bournemouth, UK on July 11.

Billy’s band is John Douglas, touring drummer for Aerosmith on drums/percussion and Austin Hanks on guitar. Matt Sorum makes temporary leave attending to important family matters at home.

Gibbons commented, “Matt’s my long-standing pal and consummate professional, and we can’t say enough how much we dig working and touring together. Matt’s short leave from the Europe dates called upon wrangling the work with our good friend, John Douglas, to join this Euro adventure with the BFG outfit as he exclaimed, “Hell yeah, I’m in!’”
