Lamb of God guitarist, Mark Morton, has announced details of a headline acoustic tour in the UK, his first solo headline tour outside of North America. Kicking off 8th January in Bristol and concluding 12th January in London, the five-city UK tour will see Morton follow up his surprise acoustic set at Download Festival in June 2019.

“I’m thrilled to announce this very special acoustic tour of U.K.! We had such an amazing time with the acoustic set at Download and I’m really looking forward to expanding on that experience with these upcoming shows. Joining me once again will be Mark Morales on vocals and guitarist extraordinaire, Joe Harvatt. We’ll be performing acoustic versions of many of the songs from ‘Anesthestic’ and a few covers of some of our favorite tunes. We’ll also be debuting some new original material as well!

I couldn’t be more excited for this opportunity to play these intimate shows with my friends all over the U.K. Look forward to seeing you all!“ – Mark Morton
