Rothery has also revealed definitive details regarding his upcoming solo tour of the UK.

He says (via Classic Rock):

“I’ve finalised the dates to promote The Ghosts Of Pripyat, and Italian band Ranestrane will support at most of the shows in October and November.

“After a lot of demand I’ve made the Plovdic concert that started the whole project available on a combined CD/DVD.”

He says of progress on his crowd funded solo project:

“I’ll be doing guitar overdubs in my free time, and I’m in Real World Studios for a couple of days in June to shoot the live DVD for the bonus disc. Steve Hackett is going to be recording his contribution to a couple of tracks at his studio in June.”
