Exciting news! The Pretty Reckless will be back in Europe and the UK this summer, following their 2022 Death By Rock And Roll headline tour.
The New York rock titans – vocalist and guitarist Taylor Momsen, guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins – will be crossing the pond in order to support none other than AC/DC on the band’s highly-anticipated POWER UP run. They’ll be direct support on all 24 dates of the tour, from the opening night at Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen, Germany on May 17, to the final gig in Dublin, Ireland at Croke Park on August 17.
The news arrives shortly after The Pretty Reckless celebrated the 10th anniversary of their iconic album Going To Hell earlier this month. Speaking with Spin, Taylor reflected that the record “changed our lives. Even though we maybe didn’t see it at the time, we certainly are feeling the effects of it to this day. First, it made us double down on our ethics. It gave us the confidence to go, ‘We’re doing the right thing by doing it this way,’ and continued us on the path that we’re still on.”
