Wednesday 13 to celebrate 20 years of Murderdolls with UK and European tour

Wednesday 13 has announced a UK and European tour celebrating 20 years of Murderdolls.

The autumn run will feature a full set of material from the band’s 2002 debut Beyond The Valley Of The Murderdolls and 2010’s Women And Children Last, and will be performed by Wednesday and his solo band (completed by guitarists Roman Surman and Jack Tankersley, bassist Troy Doebbler and drummer Mike Dupke).

Announcing details of the tour, he explains: “After 21 years since its release, and the recent sad and premature passing of Joey [Jordison], it only feels right to go out and celebrate these songs. We made two amazing albums that I was very proud of, and unfortunately much of the world didn’t get a chance to hear the songs live. In 2018, we all got together at Joey’s house and discussed ideas and possibilities for the future, but we both had other immediate plans.

“After an amazing run through the U.S. performing these songs, we will now take the tour where the band began, in the UK and Europe this October/November. We will be performing tracks from both Murderdolls albums and celebrating the legacy of the band. Joining us on a handful of dates in the UK will be Sweden’s rock’n’roll saviours, Hardcore Superstar, and we will join them as support throughout dates across Europe… We can’t wait to bring this tour to the UK and Europe later this year.”
