DragonForce played their first pair of shows with White-Gluz earlier this month at the Welcome to Rockville festival in Daytona, Fla. and a few days later at Ohio’s Sonic Temple festival. This upcoming tour will be their first headlining trek with the singer.
“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” Herman Li said in a statement when DragonForce revealed White-Gluz had joined. “She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”
“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” the vocalistadded.
