HIM’s Ville Valo has announced that he’ll be hitting the road next year for a UK and European tour – buy tickets here.

The upcoming dates – which he will headline under his VV moniker – mark the first serious run of touring for the Finnish singer-songwriter since the disbanding of HIM back in late 2017.

Kicking off at Proxima in Warsaw, Poland on February 14, he will take in mainland European shows in Germany, Spain, Italy, Luxemburg, Switzerland, among others. He will then head to the UK on March 10 for shows in Bristol, Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and London.
