Eddie Trunk - Vivian Campbell Interview Quotes
2015 World Tour
"We're starting April 15th in Canada. We're doing about three - three and a half weeks in Canada. Taking a week off and then going to Europe and we're doing the same thing about three weeks or so in Europe and Scandinavia. And we come back and I believe we're gonna start in America - I'm gonna guess the last week in June."
Headline/Support?
"We are gonna headline, yes indeed. We have a couple of other bands with us I can't mention at the moment. But we will be the headline band. And that'll be through probably September or maybe even October. Beyond that we have no definitive dates booked yet but we are definitely going to Australia and Japan in the Fall. More than likely the UK towards the end of the year. And we've also got a number of options available to us to do another residency for Pyromania in Las Vegas."
