Legendary prog-rockers CAMEL announce UK tour dates for September 2018

Camel is hitting the road in 2018 in the UK and is playing “Moonmadness” in its entirety! That album is still my personal favorite. They are also playing many classic tracks as well. Mainman Andrew Lattimer is still steering the ship with long time bassist Colin Bass. Here’s the official press release along with ticket information!

    Hardly a UK tour with no Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish dates!
