BEAT, made up of rock icons Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai and Tool drummer Danny Carey, have announced they’re extending their 2024 tour where they’ll play reinterpretations of iconic ’80s King Crimson albums “Discipline,” “Beat” and “Three of A Perfect Pair” at venues all over North America from September through November.
Previously announced New York and New Jersey-based gigs included concerts at New York City’s Beacon Theatre on Oct. 5, Red Bank, NJ’s Hackensack Meridian Theatre on Oct. 9, Rochester’s Kodak Center on Oct. 19 and Albany’s The Egg on Oct. 21.
And, while original King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp won’t take part in the fall and winter run, he did give the upcoming trek a thumbs up.
“This is the project that Adrian Belew called me about last autumn, a project which I support and fully encourage, and discussed with Steve Vai recently at McCabes in Santa Monica,” the 77-year-old shared on Facebook. “I suggested the name.”
On top of the sprawling BEAT tour, Belew is returning to the road with Talking Heads and Modern Lovers member Jerry Harrison for a quick jaunt this year.
If it’s been too long since you’ve heard the band’s ’80s output, here’s how you can hear King Crimson’s three sonically adventurous albums that inspired the upcoming tour.
