The group will play extended residencies in several major European cities, giving audiences the chance to experience multiple nights of performances. Each city will host four concerts, allowing for unique setlists and deeper cuts from their expansive catalog.

Fans have been vocal on social media about the potential for deep cuts, experimental tracks, and new live arrangements, building anticipation for what could be one of the year’s most significant classic rock events.
