Turisas Announces UK Warm Up Show, Confirms UK Tour Supporting Dragonforce

Fresh from the Paganfest USA tour, Turisas themselves have confirmed the supporting slot for Dragonforce's upcoming UK and Ireland tour, starting in September 2008.

Warlord Nygård comments: "After our own European Tour and Paganfest USA this spring, we're happy to announce this one: we're joining up with Dragonforce on their UK tour and this something we're already hugely looking forward to. We are also extra excited about the shows in Ireland, which will be our first ones on the island that we've been unfortunate enough to miss out on previous tours. As you can imagine, Olli is sharpening his bow already as his one-man mission is about to reach its climax ... All in all, it's going to be a great package no-one should miss out on.

"See you at the summer festivals and latest in the autumn!"

The tour starts on September 26th in Manchester, and runs until October 13th where it wraps in Cork.

Also, the same combo will play a special warm-up show in Oxford.
