FEMALE FIRST had a chat with MADINA LAKE drummer Dam Torelli recently about the bands forthcoming tour of the UK, which kicks off in Oxford on Thursday.

“We are extremely excited to be coming back to the UK and we have plenty of new things and new songs to bring over. I think the last time we headlined over there was last May so we’ve been working on coming back ever since!” comments Dan

On the bands recent confirmation for Sonisphere, he continues, “…it’s going to be crazy we’re so lucky to get that. We’re so lucky that every year we get to do amazing festivals, but getting that one was brilliant and we’ve never played it before so it will be great.”
