Thin Lizzy are back on this side of the world with a UK tour announcement for January/February 2012

The band consists of Scott Gorham, Brain Downey, Darren Wharton, Richard Fortus, Marco Mendoza and Ricky Warwick.

Hopefully we will see some Irish dates announced very soon for this tour.

Alongside the new lineup, Universal Music has committed to a series of re-issue, deluxe and special releases of classic Thin Lizzy material.

Deluxe expanded editions of the seminal albums “Bad Reputation”, “Black Rose” and “Chinatown” are released in July 2011. October 2012 will see the release of a lavish collection of BBC material – “At The BBC” – that will be available in three formats – a 7CD, 1 DVD boxset, a 2CD anthology and a 5 LP vinyl set.
