Calling all headbangers! The legendary King Diamond is embarking on a massive North American tour, “The Saint Lucifer’s Hospital 1920,” and making a stop right here in San Diego!
This highly anticipated tour kicks off on October 15th and runs through December 6th, featuring a killer lineup with thrash metal veterans Overkill and Night Demon opening the show.
But San Diego metalheads, mark your calendars for December 1st! King Diamond will be gracing the stage at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, promising an unforgettable night of heavy metal mayhem.
Elaborates KING DIAMOND on what fans can expect,
“This is Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, enter if you dare! We have been busy putting this ever-growing horror story together, and it’s still growing. I know the end of it, but how we will get there will be a long trip. There are so many characters, and so many unexpected things along this journey. It’s a crazy family on another timeline in 1920, where I experienced some hard times, and they have to come to our time to steal from us to survive. This is the most elaborate thing we have ever done, that goes for the stage production as well.
“There will be additional backing vocals by Myrkur and she’ll be playing organ for songs that need it. There will be some horrific surprises taking place on stage, but we are not to be held responsible since we are on a whole different timeline in 1920. It was back at the time when medicine was going through a dark period with lots of testing on human beings in order to progress medicine. This is Saint Lucifer’s Hospital, also known as The Institute, enter if you dare!“
Artist presales begin Wednesday, July 31st at 10:00am ET. General on sale date is this Friday, August 2nd at 10:00am local time. Secure your tickets at: kingdiamondcoven.com
