Louder Than The Music

Popular long-time British Celtic rock band Iona, who are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches to their new album, have announced plans for a UK tour later this year. The group will play eight UK dates during May and June, kicking off on 12th May in Milton Keynes, and finishing in Glasgow on 12th June.

Formed in the late 1980s, Iona's blend of Celtic rock has seen them form a loyal following over the years. Last year the band returned to the United States for their first tour there in nine years, where they introduced some of the songs from their forthcoming new album due out in 2011.

Iona have not released a studio album since 2006's 'The Circling Hour'. In addition to their UK tour, Iona will also perform three dates in the Netherlands from 14th to 16th April, and two dates in Germany during November.
