New Zealand band Devilskin will join Grammy Award Winning hard rock band Halestorm on a massive European tour.

The two bands will perform their exhilarating brand of rock in 18 cities throughout Europe. This is set to be one of the most sought after tickets this year.

Both Devilskin and Halestorm will be showcasing newly recorded music throughout the tour. Devilskin are currently working alongside International Producer Greg Haver (Manic Street Preachers, Melanie C, Opshop, Kimbra, Super Furry Animals, Bullet For My Valentine) and are recording in early July.

'We've been itching to get back to Europe and the UK, so to be asked by our good friends Halestorm to open for them on such a massive tour, through 11 countries is absolutely awesome,” beams Devilskin bassist Paul Martin.

'They are among the nicest guys in the business and they're huge in Europe so it was an offer we couldn't resist. We had a lot of fun with them when we toured NZ and Australia together, we all clicked and they really loved their time here in NZ. We are all just totally over the moon to be hitting the road again with them.”

Devilskin will then undertake an extra 12 date UK tour from 28^th October – 12^th November 2018, reuniting the band with their ardent UK fans. Cities will include London, Milton Keynes, Birmingham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Bristol, Cardiff, Southampton and Bournemouth.

Devilskin are also pleased to announce an 8 date New Zealand tour to satisfy the demand on the home front.

'Well, we do have a bunch of new tunes that we're really excited about, so we're keen to take them out on a road test.” says Paul,

'We've definitely missed our crazy Devil army while we've been locked away writing the next album, so now it's time to get out on tour and rip it up!”
