Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are heading back to the UK this summer for their first headline dates there in more than 15 years, with stops in Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester anchoring a run that stretches across 2 continents and opens at BottleRock Napa Valley on May 23.
The tour carries added weight. It’s Jett’s first since the death of Thommy Price, who drummed for the Blackhearts for nearly 30 years between 1986 and 2016, appearing on 8 of their albums. He was 68 when he died.
The BottleRock opener puts Jett on a bill alongside Foo Fighters, Kool and the Gang, Men at Work, and Bush before she heads to Europe for Sweden Rock Festival on June 5 and a stop in Tilloloy, France. In between, she plays the America250PA Commonwealth Concert Series in Hershey, Pennsylvania on June 13. The UK headline run follows in July.
