Loreena McKennitt: " Celtic Footprints Tour 2012" - Official Press

We're thrilled to announce that Loreena will once again be taking her music on the road when she embarks on the Loreena McKennitt Celtic Footprints Tour 2012 this coming spring. The tour presently launches March 17 and winds up April 25. The 41-day, 11-country European tour will take Loreena back to some of her favourite countries, audiences and venues, while introducing a few new destinations along the way. "I'm very much looking forward to heading back to Europe again," says Loreena. "Since our last tour, we've recorded The Wind that Shakes the Barley, an album that includes songs that inspired me when I first discovered Celtic music, particularly those of Irish, Scots and English origin. We're looking forward to performing some of those songs during the tour, along with other old-time favourites, plus pieces inspired by the Celts' eastern roots." Loreena will be accompanied on the tour by most of her long-standing complement of gifted musicians. Tickets will be offered exclusively to members of the Quinlan Road Community beginning Wednesday, Oct. 26 at 10 a.m. local time in each country. These pre-sale tickets will be available for only 48 hours, until 10:00 a.m. local time Friday, Oct. 29. Box office ticket sales will then be open to the general public.
