King Crimson announce North American tour with The Zappa Band

Prog legends King Crimson had a busy 2019, which included a 50th anniversary tour and the long-awaited introduction of their classic albums to streaming services, and they’ll be busy this year too. They’re doing a lengthy tour with support from The Zappa Band (whose lineup includes alumni of Frank Zappa’s band).
