NEWS: Henry Rollins Long March Tour Dates Confirmed

Henry Rollins is bringing his provocative and humorous spoken-word show to New Zealand in April as part of The Long March 2012 world tour; with shows in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch.

For 30 years Rollins has been in the spotlight, as frontman for US punks Black Flag and the Rollins Band, and touring the world as a spoken-word artist, collecting new fans with his no-holds-barred opinions and observations.

Rollins is one of the most inspiring and interesting commentators and entertainers of his generation. His curiosity to learn from new experiences, combined with a hunger for travel, help shape anecdotes that connect with audiences worldwide. Rollins is a solitary traveller with an insatiable curiosity. His recent destinations included North Korea, Mongolia, Bhutan, Vietnam, India, Tibet, Sudan, Uganda, Cuba and Haiti (where he met locals struggling to recover their lives from the earthquake two years ago).

This year has also seen the release of his book Occupants, a collection of his own essays and photos; the continuation of his weekly eclectic radio show on KCRW, the filming of a new TV series for National Geographic about those who own and consume exotic creatures; as well as finding time to perform at European festivals.
