Iggy & The Stooges To Play 'Raw Power' In Full At London Gigs

September 17, 2009
Iggy & The Stooges To Play 'Raw Power' In Full At London GigsIggy & The Stooges are to perform their third and final album 'Raw Power' in its entirety at two London gigs next May.

The band will be joined at the shows by guitarist James Williamson, who has not played with the Stooges for over 35 years.

Released in 1973, 'Raw Power' has grown to become one of the band's most revered releases, featuring the likes of 'Search & Destroy' and 'Gimme Danger'.

The gigs – on May 2 and 3 – will mark the fifth anniversary of the ATP's Don't Look Back season, in which artists are asked to perform classic albums in their entirety.

Support at both concerts will come from Suicide, who are due to perform their 1977 self-titled debut.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (September 18) at 10am.
