Rock legends Blue Öyster Cult have announced a single, rare UK date. No surprises that it’s down in London, but for those of you who live there or are prepared to travel this is a great opportunity to see one of rock’s founding fathers perform a legendary live set.
- The date: July 29th
- The venue: O2 Forum, Kentish Town
To mark the 40th anniversary since its original 1976 release on Columbia Records, the Long Island rockers will be jetting in from NYC to play their Agents of Fortune album in full, plus a full set of powerful classics from a back catalogue spanning over four decades.
Agents of Fortune, Blue Öyster Cult’s platinum-selling fourth studio album, included the hit single “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, arguably still one of the most haunting and recognised tracks in rock history.
This special night in July at the London O2 Forum Kentish Town will feature the band’s original core members Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (guitar, vocals) and Eric Bloom (guitar, keyboards, vocals), with a very special guest appearance from co-founding member Albert Bouchard (percussion, guitar, vocals) who was instrumental in writing the early material. The legendary line-up is completed by Richie Castellano (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Kasim Sulton (bass, vocals) and Jules Radino (drums, percussion), bringing a relentless and unrivalled energy to the stage.
