Tuesday 27th August 2024...
Today I know many of you are back to work as normal and it is the same for us too. We have had a great bank holiday weekend.

Friday - Luke set out to the first day at Stonedead Festival camping with friends and got to witness some quality acts and headliners The Quireboys - This Is Rock And Roll with 2 members of Thunder Online performing with them, Harry James & Luke Morley.

Friday - Chris attended a wedding for his very good friend of 25+ years who was one of the first sound-engineers to do the sound for Chris in a small venue in Bolton (when Chris was performing with an early incarnation of 'Fury UK' when he was 13/14 years old. Congratulations on your marriage 'Gary Wells'.

Saturday - Chris headed down to Stonedead to meet Luke with family & friends to be present for the main event. Headliners Saxon with KKs Priest, Ugly Kid Joe, Doro Pesch and more.
Chris & Luke bumped into many familiar fans & friends faces whilst at the festival, and bumped into many other bands and musicians. Special thanks to Chris & Neil for the hefty Absolva advertising at the festival.

Today...
We are back in the office preparing for the remaining shows of this tremendous year - 2024.

UK Shows -
We promised you more UK headline shows this year - and here they are....
We will be storming across our home soil once again for some key shows in our stronghold areas. Including a very special 'Halloween Ball' headline show at the The Underworld Camden, with White Raven Down and Circus 66. Saturday 26th October. And of course our ritual Manchester Academy 3 Christmas Show on Saturday 21st December. We also have headline shows in Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, plus we are performing once again at the fantastic Planet Rock Stock. Plus of course we are returning to Dublin, Belfast & Wolves with Blaze.

European Shows -
We will be returning to Europe once again to perform for our loyal German, Belgian & French fans. For a select tour across the mainland. It will the first time headlining Spirit of 66 in Verviers, Belgium which we first performed at opening up for Michael Schenker many years ago. We have some brand news locations and again some of our strongholds where we have been performing for many years. This tour will be fantastic.

Before all that...
We have some shows coming up right up.
This Saturday we return back to Czech Republic to Prostejov for ROCK FOR YOUR SHOCK vol.3 Festival.
We also have 3 German shows with Blaze in Bochum, Willanzheim & Herford.

Absolva Official Blaze Bayley
