The new 7-piece line-up ( Pat Mastelotto, Jeremy Stacey, Gavin Harrison, Mel Collins, Tony Levin, Jakko Jakszyk and Robert Fripp) plays many historic pieces that Crimson has never played live, as well as new arrangements of Crimson classics – “the music is new whenever it was written.” There are also new instrumentals and songs, as well as the compositions by the three drummers, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison, and Jeremy Stacey, which are a regular highlight. Since returning to live performance in 2014 with critically acclaimed sell-out shows all over the world, King Crimson’s three-hour shows regularly include material from twelve of their thirteen studio albums, including many of the songs from the band’s seminal 1969 album, In The Court of the Crimson King, described by Pete Townshend as an “uncanny masterpiece.” Except for select shows/festivals such as the Ottawa Blues Festival, all the dates will be double bills with The Zappa Band.

The ecstatic Fripp continued, “The Crimson Beast Of Terror has woken from its enforced slumbering and is venturing out to stomp flat the psyches of innocents not yet experienced in the hammering onslaught of King Crimson’s uncompromising pounding – bish! bish! bish! – before turning on a beat to jellify hearts with gut-wrenching passion and soul-squeezing epic unfoldings to remind us that we are all mere subjects in the unfolding drama of the universe’s unfathomable mysteries while simultaneously rocking out and having a great time bopping about with Tony and Bobby and Gavin and Jakko and Mel and Pat and Jezza too.” Totally excellent news!
