Some (hopefully) great news for our friends in Italy - an early Christmas present? Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets have just revealed that they are coming to your country for a string of concerts in July 2024!

Details of the dates and venues are below. Tickets for these six shows go on sale TOMORROW (Thursday, December 21st) at 11am local time (10am UK), through TicketOne and we anticipate that they will sell very quickly. One of the venues (Milan) they've performed in before, another - Vicenza - was the scene exactly one year earlier than the newly announced date, when an incoming bad storm caused the last minute cancellation of the open-air gig, just as the band were ready to head on stage. There's also some beautiful looking venues new to the Saucers.

Obviously, should further dates be announced for elsewhere, we'll let you know - so there's NO need to email us asking if they'll be playing in your local town or city, or have any plans to play particular countries. We get asked this an awful lot. If it's not showing below, we have no idea!

We also don't yet know if there will be any changes to the set list, or anything else. Due to the incredible reaction that Echoes received over the last couple of years, it is likely (although not guaranteed, of course) that they will include this during the show. We'll all have to wait and see what they decide to play!

Here are the dates, with the venue for Rome still to be advised:

• 18 July - Teatro Arcimboldi, Milan, Italy - TICKETS
• 19 July - Piazza dei Signori, Vicenza, Italy - TICKETS
• 20 July - Sequoie Music Park, Bologna, Italy - TICKETS
• 22 July - Rome, Italy (venue TBA) - TICKETS
• 23 July - Belvedere San Leucio, Caserta, Italy - TICKETS
