Viper Central in Ireland, 22 June-7 July 2012: update and corrections

A few weeks ago Viper Central from Canada announced: 'We're very excited to be returning to Ireland and the UK for our third consecutive summer!' The BIB has already carried notices on individual upcoming dates by the band, so we are now giving a fuller list of the shows they will be playing in Ireland - beginning tomorrow, 22 June - before continuing on to Britain.

The list below gives the dates shown at present on their online tour schedule, and updated from the latest release (21 June) from Geraint Jones's G Promo PR agency.
