Street punk legends Cock Sparrer are venturing back to the US, with four US shows scheduled including two on the East Coast at Starlight Ballroom in Philadelphia on May 18th and at Club Lido in Revere, MA on May 19th. As you can see in the poster below, both shows go on sale Friday. So far no word on additional dates, but we’ll keep you informed.
