BRITISH blues rock outfit King King will headline a Bournemouth music venue later this month.

The quintet will perform at The Old Fire Station on Sunday, March, 26.

It was formed in 2008 by Alan Nimmo and Lindsay Coulson, both formerly of The Nimmo Brothers.

The band has released five studio albums and one live album to date.

A spokesperson for the band said: "Throughout the music industry King King is a name synonymous with, not only great music and outstanding musicianship, but with, and perhaps even more importantly, having a damn good time every time.

"When irrepressible leader Alan Nimmo walks out on stage wearing his now trademark kilt, fists in the air and a smile as wide and resplendent as Glasgow’s River Clyde itself there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that they are in for one of the best nights of their life - and that’s before the music has even started."

The gig forms part of an 18-date UK tour this month calling at venues in Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Wolverhampton and Exeter.

Tickets for the Bournemouth show are on sale now priced from £28 through Eventbrite.

Doors open at 7pm and support comes from special guest Glenn Tilbrook.
