TOUR DATES – Thunder Announce Plans for a Christmas Show

Back in 1990 Thunder were one of Britain’s most promising new rock acts. The band, which consisted of former members of the short-lived Terraplane, had gained considerable acclaim for the debut album Backstreet Symphony, had scored hits with the singles Dirty Talk and Gimme Some Lovin’ and had landed the opening slot at the legendary Monsters of Rock festival in Donington, sharing the bill with The Quireboys, Poison, Aerosmith and headliners Whitesnake. Although their popularity began to dwindle throughout the decade, Thunder have continued to amass a cult following and, following two warm-up shows, performed a well received set earlier this month at the High Voltage festival.

Classic Rock report that Thunder will be making a special appearance during the Christmas holidays, although details have yet to be announced; “Both Sun Valley Pavilion and Rock City Nottingham warm up shows went extremely well, and the band was very pleased with how they turned out, so thanks to all who showed up, screamed, sang, clapped etc, especially at such short notice in Nottingham (contractual obligations meant it had to be last minute). These shows provided ideal preparation for the triumph that was High Voltage last Sunday. Official word from the festival organisers is that Thunder had the biggest crowd, best audience reaction, and the best attended signing session of the entire weekend, so huge thanks again to all of you who did your bit… As hinted at recently in interviews, the band have decided to do a Christmas show. Discussions are taking place, and we’ll be making an announcement as soon as we know the details. I must stress that there are no plans to do anything beyond that.”
