They will perform at the Ulster Hall in Belfast, Ireland on July 15 and at the Lampton Park in Hounslow, London on July 16 for the 22nd Barrio Fiesta sa London.
South Border will be back in Manila in August, but only for a while. In September the band will fly to the land of Down Under and play to Oz crowds on Sept. 9. From Australia, the group goes straight to the US to fulfill commitments to become headliners for B.B. King, a chain of popular mainstream clubs in the US. B.B. King’s clubs are located all over the U.S. among them, Universal City Walk in California, New York; Nashville and Memphis, in Tennessee where the music legend, B.B. King himself, owns the club.
