News: BLUE ÖYSTER CULT confirm London date on Friday 29th July

To mark the 40th anniversary since its original 1976 release on Columbia Records, the Long Island rockers Blue Öyster Cult will be jetting in from NYC to play their ‘Agents of Fortune’ album in full, plus a full set of powerful classics from a back catalogue spanning over four decades.

Agents of Fortune, Blue Öyster Cult’s platinum-selling fourth studio album, included the hit single “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”, arguably still one of the most haunting and recognised tracks in rock history.

This special night in July at the London O2 Forum Kentish Town will feature the band’s original core members Donald “Buck Dharma” Roeser (guitar, vocals) and Eric Bloom (guitar, keyboards, vocals), with a very special guest appearance from co-founding member Albert Bouchard (percussion, guitar, vocals) who was instrumental in writing the early material. The legendary line-up is completed by Richie Castellano (guitar, keyboards, vocals), Kasim Sulton (bass, vocals) and Jules Radino (drums, percussion), bringing a relentless and unrivaled energy to the stage.
