King Crimson Expands North American 50th Anniversary Tour

Progressive rock innovators King Crimson will embark on a world tour in celebration of their 50th anniversary this year. The group previously confirmed three U.S. dates and have now laid out their entire North American tour.

The eight-piece band will perform many classic tunes they’ve never played live before along with new arrangements of some of their most-beloved songs. King Crimson will also work in new instrumentals and songs written by drummers Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison and Jeremy Stacey. The U.S. portion of the tour begins with a show at the Greek in Los Angeles on September 3 and two nights at Oakland’s Fox Theater September 5 and 6. From there, the group heads to Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., Toronto, Montreal, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Nashville. King Crimson will close out the North American leg at The Cobb Center in Atlanta on September 29.

King Crimson will release 50 rare or unusual tracks from the archives at the pace of once per week each Friday. Today’s track features a previously unreleased version of “Cadence & Cascade (Four Singers)” along with commentary, listen:
