Vocalist Bernie Shaw continues,”In true Heep fashion the band will be out on tour promoting our newest album Living the Dream released on Sept 14. Our 25th studio album promises to bring some new power and melody to the live shows and we can’t wait to play to our home crowds in the UK this December. 2018-2019 will be a very busy time for the band as we plan a full world tour. I’m sure the fans will love the raw power and traditional Heep musical trademarks that have made the band last so many years. See you out on the road!
Founding member and lead guitarist Mick Box adds, “There is a full European tour booked in support of our new album ‘Living The Dream,’ including some exciting shows in the UK in December. The Heep Rock n’ Roll Circus just keeps on rolling, and long may it last. ‘Appy days!

The new album rocks and thanks to our fans and your continued support, we are still Living that Dream. ‘Appy days!”
