Both acts will play classic albums in full on 12-date run

Wayne Static and Drowning Pool have confirmed a 12-date UK tour in January.

The Static-X frontman will perform his 1999 album Wisconsin Death Trip in full, while Drowning Pool will deliver 2001 debut Sinner.

Static says: “It’s been far too long since we played the UK. For those of you still wondering what to expect from my solo band, don’t fear – I have the best band ever and the shit’s on fire.

“Add our friends Drowning Pool to the mix and this is going to be an awesome tour.”
