PATTI SMITH 02 JULY 2016, at the Rockhal

Patti Smith, not only the rock icon of a whole generation but also a committed artist in every possible manner, is set to return to Europe! Forty years after  “Horses”, Smith will honor the longevity and lasting influence of her debut album with a series of special shows centered around that record. Don’t miss the “godmother of punk » hitting the stage of the Rockhal Box on  02 July.
In the fall of 1975, Patti Smith gathered her band in Electric Lady Studios in New York City to record her debut album, Horses.  Released on November 10 of that year by Arista Records, it has come to be regarded as a seminal and landmark recording that continues to have resonance and relevance for succeeding generations of musicians and artists.
Now, forty years later, Smith will honor the longevity and lasting influence of the album with a series of special shows centered around the album. “It will be a true, proud celebration,” Patti says of her intent to perform Horses in its entirety.  She will be accompanied by two members of the original group, Lenny Kaye and Jay Dee Daugherty, along with bassist / keyboardist Tony Shanahan, who has been a part of her Band for twenty years.
This summer, the punk icon and poet Patti Smith is touring Europe with a stopover at the Rockhal on 2 July!
So catch her live but make sure to grab your ticket in time!
