March 24, 2018, 6 years ago
British hard rock legends Magnum have announced the rescheduling of the Birmingham date of their The Road To Eternity tour for April 19th at Birmingham Symphony Hall.
Due to snow, the original show at Birmingham Town Hall on March 2nd was postponed. However, with the show having sold out well in advance, the venue will be upgraded to the prestigious Birmingham Symphony Hall to offer the chance for those who missed out to buy this time around. Tickets for the original show will be honoured and ticketholders have been contacted via their point of purchase.
The Road to Eternity tour is in support of Magnum’s most recent album, Lost On The Road to Eternity, which was released in January this year to critical acclaim. The album is currently in its seventh week in the charts, peaking at #1 in the UK Indie Chart, and reaching the top 10 in the UK Update, Vinyl, Physical and Scottish Charts.
