Following the announcement of their UK tour last month, the legendary progressive/psychedelic rockers GONG have added a fourth date to their UK tour at the newly refurbished Birmingham HMV Institute venue on Monday September 20th. The event comes shortly after the venue's grand opening night on Friday September 17th.
GONG first played at the Birmingham venue back in 1968, when it was known as the Digbeth Civic Hall.
Other artists set to appear at the new Birmingham HMV institute include The Psychedelic Furs, who perform 'Talk Talk Talk' on October 27th and Heaven 17, who will perform their seminal album 'Penthouse & Pavement' on November 26th.
After the success of last year's 40th Anniversary UK tour, and the critically acclaimed studio album '2032', GONG's other 2010 UK tour dates include shows in Glasgow, Manchester and London this September.
The forthcoming UK tour will reunite core GONG members, including original founding member Daevid Allen (Guitar, Lead Vocal), Steve Hillage (Lead Guitar), Gilli Smyth (Space Whisper, Poetry) and Miquette Giraudy (Synthesizer). The band will also feature Chris Taylor (Drums), Dave Sturt (Bass) and Ian East (Sax, Flute).
Support for all four UK concerts comes from very special guests Nik Turner's Space Ritual.

Glasgow 02 ABC (Sept 9)
