King Diamond
Classic Rock
|Summer 2025
The Danish shrieker returns with “a horror show set to music”.
-
King Diamond - known to his mum as Kim Bendix Petersen - found fame and a degree of notoriety during the early 80s as frontman and lyricist with the highly influential satanic metal band Mercyful Fate. During the 90s he was a solo artist, before the first of several Mercyful Fate reunions. The Dane previews a pair of rare UK solo dates.
