Two months after the launch of his debut solo album, Ollie T has announced his European tour!
Perhaps best known as guitarist in Old Gods of Asgard and Poets of the Fall, Olli Tukiainen (aka Ollie T) has been exploring new ground this past year, experimenting with a new and more personal direction with his work.
Announcing the tour, Ollie tackled a few early questions you may have and gave a bit of backstory into the process of tour-creation. "As you may have guessed, this has been a very exciting day for me! Putting these shows together has required a lot of work—not just from me, but from the whole team. As much as I’d love to tour around the world, I have to start somewhere and see how it goes before planning anything further. We’re also working hard on the next Poets album, which is taking a lot of time and energy. (By the way, the new songs sound really good, if you ask me!)"
The tour consists of four stops across Europe in early May; Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg, and Copenhagen. While it's a packed week, it's short for a reason, with the guitarist weighing up different responsibilities. "That’s why I need to be cautious not to burn myself out. I want to enjoy both the processes of recording the 10th Poets album and playing my Ollie T music. Anyways, thank you so much for your support. It means a lot to me, and greetings from the whole band to all of you! See you on the road soon!"
He will be joined by fellow Poets of the Fall bandmates, Jani Snellman, Jaska Mäkinen, and Jari Salminen.
