Kiko Loureiro / Angra : Aqua European Tour 2011

"Angra is coming back to Europe in February 2011 with the tour supporting their brand new album, Aqua. From 11th to 27th of February the band will play in various cities of Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and England. Please, see the confirmed dates below or check out the interactive schedule of the blog for the further details about every show.

A young Brazilian metal band from Curitiba, Kattah has been recently announced as an opening act for the whole European tour of Angra. According to Kattah’s frontman Roni Sauaf, it became possible due to the interest of Angra’s members. Right now, Kattah is close to release its debut album “Eyes Of Sand” and to launch a video clip.

“Aqua” was released in Europe on September 27th, 2010 through SPV/Steamhammer in four formats: a limited-edition digipack that includes a bonus CD featuring a career-spanning overview of ANGRA’s Edu Falaschi (vocals) era; a standard jewel-case edition; a double-LP edition that includes three bonus tracks; also the album is available as a digital download. It will be the first European tour of the band since February/March 2007. As previously reported, last year Angra already presented the Aqua World Tour program in many cities in Brazil, performed in Japan at Loud Park Festival and in Taiwan, and just recently Angra is back to Brazil after two North American dates played on 13-14th of January in California together with another legendary Brazilian-based metal act, Sepultura."
