LEGENDARY space rock pioneers Hawkwind will perform in Bournemouth next spring.

The group will call at the Pavilion Theatre on April 19 as part of a UK tour.

Famed for their 'spellbinding live concerts and laser shows', the group will perform tracks from their career spanning more than 50 years.

They will also perform material from their recent 36th studio album, Stories From Time And Space.

A spokesperson said: “Their 36th studio album stands as an outstanding progression to the space-age, trademark Hawkwind sound and a superb addition to their varied and celebrated catalogue.”

Hawkwind comprises Dave Brock, Richard Chadwick, Magnus Martin, Doug MacKinnon and Tim "Thighpaulsandra" Lewis.

The spokesperson added: “From Dave Brock’s trademark vocals and chugging guitar riffs to roaming solos, gradual melancholic crescendos and rapturous peaks, the shows promise to deliver an intense concentrated fusion of musical styles.”

The tour will see the band play at 10 venues across the country including London, Gateshead, Manchester, Aylesbury, Guildford and Birmingham.

Tickets for the concert are on sale now.
