Back in March, we reported that el-Ethnic Legist- would be holding a European tour this September. The band already had plans to perform in Portugal, Belgium, France, as well as the UK! However, the band has recently added a couple of new lives to their tour’s schedule as well as have changed some of their previous schedule!

The two new dates are for both France and Belgium and will also be within the month of September. It looks like there are still some more details to come in the near future, however, here is a look at the new dates along with the newly altered dates:

September 10th – Strasbourg, France
September 11th – Lisbon, Portugal
September 17th – Nord, France (TBC)
September 18th – Paris, France (Paris manga)
September 19th – Liege, Belgium (le Tipi)
September 24th – London, U.K. (TBC)

It really looks like the tour is starting to become a fairly big one. Is anyone planning on attending any of the shows? This band looks like they would put on a fun live!
