Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris have announced a co-headlining duet tour of Europe in support of their upcoming album together.
The two legends have confirmed a dozen concerts across 10 countries, starting May 26 in Brussels, Belgium. The tour will hit Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, several Scandinavian countries and more before June 12, when Le Zenith in Paris will host the final show.
The itinerary includes two U.K. stops, with Wembley Arena set for June 8 and Manchester Evening News Arena the following day. An Italy stop is expected to be added for June 3.
The Knopfler / Harris duets album – All The Roadrunning – is scheduled for release April 25 in the States and a day earlier in Europe.
The pair will perform songs from the new album as well as some classics from their individual repertoires.
