I was gonna add to my first post that I hoped he'd actually bring some decent support, but I figured he'd bring some other band from his era that I'm not too into. But NILE and BEHEMOTH!?!?! I didn't realize that he toured with bands like that.

No FUCKING way......... ohh sweet jesus, there's a fat load in the front of my pants and a fat shit in the back. This is some of the best news I've heard in years and years. I had a ticket to see him in '08 in Toronto and was crushed to find out it was canceled. Out of my favorite bands/artists I still have yet to see, the King is at the top of the list. Closest show, I'm there.... will probably catch a few shows on this tour

Yeah, I don't have a clue what other bands he's toured with in recent years but that was a sweet lineup. The Black Dahlia Murder was on that tour also.

I think Entombed opened for him in 2003.

Holy shit. Well that might be asking for a bit much.

I'm not too sure that there'd be death metal bands opening up for him if he had a say, as he's stated that isn't too fond of that style of music. I think they were support for him because they're label mates.

Hi Everyone,

Found these 3 Youtube mini clips from King's appearance at TREE's in Dallas this past Friday, January the 27th, where King announced the winners and presented the awards at the 5th annual Nomad Recording Showcase Throwdown.
The showcase benefited the Blue Star Connection charity.

... No one knew that King was going to perform anything. He was there to present the awards, but hey... he's known for liking to surprise

After the presentation, King played The Family Ghost, Burn, and Evil, with Michael Harris on guitar, Neil Brincks on bass, J.T. Longoria on guitar, and Matt Thompson on drums.
You all know Matt Thompson, the drummer from King Diamond.
You also know J.T., he's recorded King's vocals for the last however many albums.
The other guys are all local musicians and personal friends.

Shaolin Death Squad, the band Matt also plays in performed as well and if you haven't checked them out yet, you really should. They are awesome!

From King's facebook. Nothing as far as touring news, but I thought people would be interested.

I want to get into him but I just can't for some reason.
