to Embark on
2019 North American Tour
As Special Guests to
Judas Priest
URIAH
HEEP
debuted in 1970 with the release of one of hard rock’s milestones, “Very
'eavy... Very 'umble” and have since sold in excess of 40 million albums
worldwide. They constantly tour the world, playing up to 125 shows a year to
500,000+ fans. The band’s live set features the classic tracks from the '70s
and is a musical journey from the band's beginnings to the present day.
Along with Led
Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Uriah Heep helped invent a decorative
and uniquely British form of heavy metal.
Uriah Heep have
been responsible for the most elevated and intelligent use of vocals in a heavy
metal context amongst the major bands inventing the genre in the 1970s. It is
for this reason Heep were coined the Beach Boys of Heavy Metal, and their
influence is there for all to see in other bands including ‘Queen.’ They were
also one of the forerunners of using the Hammond organ along with Micks
signature wah wah guitar and this became the template for their sound.
Success has
followed the forging of such an audacious formula. Across 25 studio albums,
along with myriad live releases and compilations, Uriah Heep have managed to
sell 40 million records worldwide, four million of those in the US. Impressive
American numbers, but that leaves 36 million records to be sold in the rest of the
world, underscoring the fact that Uriah Heep have become, through their
relentless dedication to touring, a truly global band, with particular success
in Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Eastern Europe and Russia, where they were the
first Western rock band to play live in Moscow in December 1987 to 180,000
people.
Through their
success as Rock n’ Roll pioneers this enabled other bands to follow in their
wake and Russia is now part of every bands touring schedule.
In celebration of
the release of their 25th studio album, Living the Dream, classic rock icons
URIAH HEEP will join fellow British rock icons JUDAS PRIEST on an extensive
North American tour. Kicking off on May 3rd in Hollywood, FL, the trek will run
through June 29th in Las Vegas.
Uriah Heep has sold in excess of 45 million albums
worldwide and performed over 4000 shows in some 60 countries.
