Boston rock icons Extreme have announced a headline UK tour for November and December 2023.

The band’s first UK trek in almost exactly six years is called the Thicker Than Blood Tour and it takes in six dates with special guests Living Colour.

The European tour dates follow the Friday 9th June release of Extreme’s first album in 15 years, ‘Six’, which features the Planet Rock playlisted anthems ‘Rise’ and ‘Banshee.’

Commenting on ‘Six’, guitarist Nuno Bettencourt says he was inspired by the late-great Eddie Van Halen during the recording process.

“When Eddie Van Halen passed, it really hit me,” Nuno said. “I’m not going to be the one who will take the throne, but I felt some responsibility to keep guitar playing alive. So, you hear a lot of fire on the record.”

Gary Cherone adds: “With Extreme, there’s always a lot of passion and a little piss and vinegar. We’re not in competition with anybody else, but we strive to outdo ourselves.

“There are some moments on this album where we did. We’ve managed to stay together after all these years. We feel like we have something to prove when we get on stage or in the studio. Because of that, I believe some of these songs are among the best we’ve written.”
