About GUN / Kris Barras Band
Scottish rock heroes and MTV EMA Award winners GUN recently released their latest album "Hombres" via Cooking Vinyl, which reached the UK Top 10 and No. 1 in their home country of Scotland and played a prominent role in the film "Damaged" with Samuel L. Jackson. GUN are known for their captivating rock songs with absolute hit potential that have climbed the charts across Europe. The band can look back on four UK Top 20 albums, eight UK Top 40 singles and extensive touring, including memorable performances with the Rolling Stones. "Hombres is on fire." - Classic Rock Magazine.
Jools Gizzi (GUN): "Both Kris Barras and Gun made the UK Top 10 in the same week, competing against Mark Knopfler and Beyonce, and it made us feel great to be a rock band. Two rock records in the UK top 10- wow. We watched Kris going from strength to strength, and this double bill is going to be something else. It’s also amazing that the tickets go on sale the same day as Germany plays Scotland in the Euros”
The KRIS BARRAS BAND is one of the most exciting newcomers in modern hard rock. With their new album "Halo Effect", released on 12 April 2024 on Earache Records, they bring a whole new arena-sized punch to 2024. The KRIS BARRAS BAND harness the gritty melodies and pounding power that fans of Architects, Shinedown and Alter Bridge love. With 'Halo Effect', they amplify the heavier sound of their last album Death Valley Paradise (which reached a top 30 spot in the UK album charts and saw four tracks make Planet Rock Radio's A-List playlist), delivering hard-hitting riffs, soaring choruses and blistering technical solos. "One of the best modern metal albums of recent years with plenty of variety and depth." - Rock Hard
Kris Barras about the tour: “I’ve been a fan of GUN since the ‘Swagger’ album, so it will be a real honour to share a stage with the guys. Germany has some of the best crowds in the world so I’m so glad to come back for our first headline show since the pandemic. We hope this will be a really special one”
With their co-headline tour, GUN and KRIS BARRAS BAND are setting the bar high for the UK rock highlight in Germany this year. A clear "don't miss" to the rock community in Germany.
