Sensational Space Shifters European Tour Announced

via RobertPlant.com

Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters begin their European tour in support a new album on June 10th in Sweden, it was announced today. The band will play Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Russia, Ireland, France, Germany, Czeck Republic and Japan between June and August 17th.  Plant's hinted-at Glastonbury performance will actually be a month and a half after the famed festival, on August 9th at Glastonbury Abbey as part of the Abbey Extravaganza.

There are more dates expected to be announced, including an American tour, presumably in the fall (can we also presume a late spring/early summer album release?).
