Classic rock music is expected to land at the Princess Pavilion on Friday, May 1 in the shape of cult band: UFO.

With over 40 years in the music industry behind them, UFO live sees a rare combination of experienced and ambitious musicians who are interested in the present, their love of |creativity and the active continuation of their celebrated band history.

UFO’s success story began in London way back in 1969, when vocalist Phil Mogg, drummer Andy Parker, guitarist Mick Bolton and bassist Pete Way formed the group.

The global breakthrough arrived when German guitarist, Michael Schenker, joined the fold in 1973, having left his band Scorpions to follow an offer by Phil Mogg and Pete Way.

UFO released three consecutive rock classics with Schenker: Phenomenon (1974), Force It (1975) and No Heavy Pettin (1976)), featuring classics like Doctor Doctor, Shoot, Shoot, or Rock Bottom. The current band formation of three original members Phil Mogg, Paul Raymond and Andy Parker, plus American guitar slinger Vinnie Moore is the perfect complement.

UFO will be supported by an uncompromising hard rock band from St Petersburg, Russia – not your usual music gig then.

Tickets £20 - available from the Pavilion box office on 01326 211222. Or book online at SeeTickets or the Cornish Riviera Box Office (CRBO).
