In the organizer's words:

Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin and Danny Carey announce their long-awaited first European tour, which will kick off in London on June 8th, followed by five dates in Germany and Austria.

Former King Crimson members ADRIAN BELEW and TONY LEVIN joined forces with guitar virtuoso STEVE VAI and explosive Tool drummer DANNY CAREY to form BEAT, a creative reinterpretation of three legendary KING CRIMSON albums from the 80s - Discipline, Beat and Three Of A Perfect Pair. In 2024, the ensemble performed 65 sold-out concerts in North America, followed by shows in Mexico, South America and Tokyo's legendary Budokan.fans in Europe have long awaited the band's plans to stage shows in the UK and across the continent.

Ahead of the 2024 tour, guitarist Adrian Belew reflected:
"The King Crimson of 1981 to 1984 created a music all of its own. Timeless. Beautiful. Complex. Fierce. For the fans who experienced it back then, and for those who never got to see it, our goal is to bring it back to life. A monumental task, but we're going for it! There aren't enough exclamation marks to express my excitement!"

Guitarist Steve Vai said:
"Being a part of this ensemble is an extraordinary privilege and an opportunity to perform some of the most beloved, timeless and monumental music of the 80s (and beyond) with truly inspired musicians. This music resonates deeply with me. Adrian, Tony and Danny are unique musicians with an otherworldly flair for presenting rich musical complexity in a very accessible way and I'm looking forward to exploring our musical thoughts in real time on stage. I'm sure the sparks will fly." He continues, "Father Robert Fripp is one of our historical geniuses. His highly specific and exceptionally brilliant guitar technique is studied and revered. His contribution to the quality of my musical life and so many others is supreme. I can assure KC fans that I will do my best to respect this great music with the care and intensity it deserves. Did I say the sparks will fly ?"

Bassist Tony Levin said:
"This is going to be quite an amazing tour. Revisiting some of my favorite tunes is a pleasure in itself, but in the company of this stellar line-up, I'm expecting to get my ass kicked musically! And it's also great that we're not just playing a few shows - we're really kicking it off. So, the Road Dogs are coming to your neck of the woods soon."

Drummer Danny Carey shared:
"I'm very excited to be sharing the stage with three of my favorite musicians on the planet. Tony, Steve and Adrian have always been a source of inspiration to me since the beginning of my career and to now be able to share a piece of my musical journey with them is a dream come true. There's nothing better to get the sparks flying and light a fire under your ass than stepping out of your musical comfort zone - and I can't think of three other guys I'd rather do that with. I think I speak for all of us when I say that we hope our fans are as excited about this tour as we are."
The idea for this project came from initial conversations between Angelo Bundini, also known as Scrote, and Adrian Belew. Tour producer Bundini recalls:
"When Adrian contacted me to make his vision a reality, it was immediately clear that we should focus on the albums of the 1980s: Discipline, Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair. These three records marked Adrian and Tony's entry into King Crimson. Their fluid, melodic virtuosity, combined with Fripp's and Bruford's precise dramatics, created a unique, dynamic tension that would continue to inspire musicians and bands for decades to come."
