And… they’re back (and already toping the charts)! Thirty years after their debut album, ASIA, the legendary British classic rock band released a new studio album “XXX” (said “triple X”) on July 3rd on Frontier Records. While the band has been through a few line-up changes throughout its time, the original supergroup – Geoff Downess, Steve Howe, Carl Palmer, & John Wetton – is back together and just as great as ever.
Not only did they release a new studio album, but they also released a 30th Anniversary edition of their debut album plus 2 DVDS, one of which is a concert film of the group’s 2010/2011 Omega World Tour on their official website. Talk about returning with a bang!
“We’re very pleased with, and confident about XXX,” says John Wetton. “It encapsulates, lyrically and instrumentally, the essence of ASIA today. However, it is the very same four people that gave you the original, iconic album 30 years ago. If you loved it then, you will love it now.”
For the fans who have avidly followed ASIA and for the ones just discovering them, you can capture the essence of ASIA on their world tour starting in September. The group will be traveling to the US, UK, and Japan. Get your calendars out folks, because below are some of the confirmed tour dates.
