CD/DVD Releases: Pendragon To Release Their First Blu-Ray In Late 2011!

Posted on Saturday, April 23 @ 18:00:00 UTC by nightowl

The legendary British band Pendragon have finished the Polish leg of European tour promoting their brand new album Passion. The final gig was Wednesday, 20th April at Teatr Śląski in Katowice (Poland).

The concert was recorded and will be released in late 2011 as a DVD and, for the first time in their career, as a Blu-Ray.

As Nick Barrett said in one of the interviews for Polish media prior to the concert: "We'll be playing probably about 30 minutes of the new album on the tour, some of the more rocky stuff, which is good live, and something that is more typical Pendragon from the new album, too, it's one of the longer songs. We've tried to do material that we haven't played very much before, particularly in Poland, and for the DVD we've changed the set drastically so that people don't buy the new DVD and it's just got the same songs as the last one.”

Pendragon’s line-up:

Nick Barrett - guitars, vocals
Peter Gee - bass
Clive Nolan - keyboards
Scott Higham – drums

Pendragon’s ninth studio album Passion was released on April 11th. Their tour continues in other parts of Europe this month and into May -- including Italy, Spain, Germany -- and then returns to the UK for dates in May and June.
