Dragonforce UK Tour Nov/Dec 09

The mighty Grammy-nominated Dragonforce have announced a massive UK tour for this winter. After bringing their fiery fretwork to Donington Park for a capacity Download Festival performance, the band are set to play almost a month of shows in November & December, dubbed the Hearts & Minds Tour 2009, with the run being co-promoted by Metal Hammer magazine. Their current album, Ultra Beatdown gatecrashed the Top 20 in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and Far East and hit the Top 10 in Japan on its release, marking them out as a truly successful British band on the international stage. Recently, Dragonforce's twin guitar wizards, Herman Li and Sam Totman pick up The Dimebag Darryl Shredder gong at Metal Hammer's Golden Gods annual awards ceremony.

In more immediate news, the 'Force also play a one-off London show on 29th July at the Kentish Town HMV Forum as part of the Kerrang! Awards week of shows. Support comes from Brit rockers Stone Gods and Glamour Of The Kill. "We really wanna give fans a special show, as it's been a while since we played in London," says DragonForce guitarist Herman Li. "I think we're going to mix our set up, maybe some bonus tracks that we wouldn't usually play live and do something interesting for our fans. We also really like playing diverse bills. We love variety. People listen to different music at home, when they are growing up, it's great to have live shows like that too. Perhaps we will make some new fans at Download, who will then come along to the headline show!"
