With the signing of their opening acts for the upcoming tour Big Big Train has everything in order and is ready to hit the road for their North American tour next month.
They have name District 97, The Twenty Committee and IZZ to play one show each with the remainder to be just Big Big Train. District 97 will play in St. Charles, Illinois with The Twenty Committee and IZZ each playing a show in Rutherford, New Jersey.
Lead singer Alberto Bravin spoke on the band’s tour plans saying, “on our tour last autumn we chose to have different bands open some shows for us, while keeping other shows ‘in the family’ to help to make each night really special, and the mixed approach worked very well. We’re looking forward to sharing the stage with District 97, IZZ and The Twenty Committee and really recommend that you get to the show in time to see them.”
He continues, “there’s just so much musical talent in Big Big Train. Our keyboardist Oskar Holldorff, violinist Clare Lindley, drummer Nick D’Virgilio and guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom all have lots of experience fronting bands outside Big Big Train and singing lead vocals. Their solo sets were very positively received in September and October in the UK and Europe, so we think fans in North America will enjoy them too. It will be a surprise each night which band member – or maybe even band members – are going to open the show.”
