Next up is the Perth Festival of the Arts in Scotland on the 27th May, and after that they're heading down under - the band have just released tour dates for June 2008 which will see them heading back to Australia & New Zealand again. The initial dates are listed below and more will be announced as they're confirmed - keep checking here and on the band's own website - www.battlefieldband.co.uk - for updates
There are also more UK & US dates planned for later in the year. Again, just check the tour dates page on the Battlefield Band website for more details.
If you can't come along to any of the concerts this time around please do give your friends and relatives a 'heads up' about the shows - there should be some great nights along the way.

There's not much chance to catch their collective breath at the end of all that before they set off at the end of February for the USA & Canada until late March.
The boys are really enjoying themselves on the road just now and of course it comes through in the music so it's a great time to catch them live; here's some fee... read more
