SLASH will be hitting the road again with his band Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & the Conspirators and have announced new European tour dates.The band will also be releasing their 3rd studio album, ‘Living The Dream’ on 21st September.Slash spoke about lead single from the album ‘Driving Rain’ and how it came to be.He goes onto say “It’s a cool guitar part we ran through, and from that point forward the rest of the song started to come together in my mind while on the road. We put it all together this year and Myles came up with a great melody for it.”So far, we’ve heard a couple of tracks from the new record and it’s shaping up to be a great new release.Singer for Slash and Alter Bridge, Myles Kennedy, adds, “The riff (for Driving Rain) is very reminiscent of vintage Aerosmith. It’s got a certain funk to it that’s compelling. Lyrically, it’s a story about somebody who works on the road–it could be a musician, and it could be a traveling salesman. What makes it interesting is this guy has an addict girlfriend or spouse who continues to relapse, and she ends up getting him to come home. She’s miserable and falls back into bad old habits, and that compels him to head back to her to save the day.”Tour dates2/7/2019 Stadthalle @ Offenbach, Germany2/9/2019 O2 Arena @ Prague, Czech Republic2/10/2019 Gasometer @ Vienna, Austria2/12/2019 Atlas Arena @ Lodz, Poland2/16/2019 O2 Apollo @ Manchester, United Kingdom2/17/2019 SEC Hall 3 @ Glasgow, United Kingdom2/19/2019 The Dome @ Doncaster, United Kingdom2/20/2019 Eventim Apollo @ London, United Kingdom2/22/2019 Zenith @ Paris, France2/23/2019 The Cirque Royal @ Brussels, Belgium2/24/2019 AFAS Live @ Amsterdam, Netherlands2/27/2019 Sentrum Scene @ Oslo, Norway2/28/2019 Annexet @ Stockholm, Sweden3/3/2019 Sporthalle @ Hamburg, Germany3/4/2018 Verti Music Hall @ Berlin, Germany3/7/2019 Samsung Hall @ Zurich, Switzerland3/8/2019 Fabrique @ Milan, Italy3/10/2019 Zenith @ Toulouse, France3/12/2019 St. Jordi Club @ Barcelona, Spain3/13/2019 Wizink Centre @ Madrid, Spain3/15/2019 Lisbon Campo Pequeno @ Lisbon, PortugalTickets go on sale at 9 AM GMT on Wednesday, September 19th at SLASH ONLINE
