Glasvegas are set to perform a "secret" show at a Las Vegas wedding chapel tomorrow (June 3) to kick off their US summer tour.
This will be the Glasgow rockers' first show in the glitzy American city from which they took their name.
The MySpace secret show will take place at the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel. "Las Vegas has always seemed like another planet to us,” frontman James Allan said in a statement. “Weird, unreachable and glamorous. Our love for the late, great Elvis Presley and his infamous Las Vegas shows is the best inspiration we could wish for."
The tour will continue with dates in Reno, San Francisco and Los Angeles and conclude with an appearance at Chicago's Lollapalooza festival on August 8, as previously reported.
