Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

US sleaze rock rebels KICKIN VALENTINA will bring their Revenge Of Rock tour to Europe already in May. This is the long-overdue European trek for the band, after the release of their last album “The Revenge Of Rock” via Mighty Music in January 2021, followed by gigs dry amidst pandemics restrictive measures.

“After all of the craziness in the world for the past two years, we are really looking forward to getting back on tour in Europe again. Since our last album “The Revenge of Rock” came out in January of 2021, we’ve had to cancel four different tours over there.  We can’t wait to finally play these new songs live for fans that haven’t had a chance to see us in a couple of years” bassist Chris Taylor states.
