The band opened the year with a bang and will also close it in a very exciting and noticeable way, ensures vocalist Matt Young: 

"All of us in King Parrot are excited to announce our return to Europe on what is one of the most prolific and legendary tours we have done to date. To get the opportunity to tour with bands of this ilk is something we don't take lightly. We'll ensure all the punters making it out early will get a 100% over the top and energetic performance from King Parrot". 

"Touring with our favorite bands is something we enjoy very much, and we want to ensure that we continue to build on the fans we have made in Australia, Asia and North America. Our last 2 European tours with Weedeater and Soulfly were both really successful, and I think this package is as strong as it gets in the extreme metal world. Be prepared, this tour is stacked from top to bottom and we'll ensure the stage is on fire by the time we are done".

KING PARROT will step foot on European soil for the third time over the course of two years, giving the chance to live through the experience of their new album "Dead Set" in the flesh. The album has been released in May 2015 on Agonia Records, shortly after the band's nomination for a Metal Hammer (UK) Golden God Award.
