MR. BIG Wraps Up European Leg of “The BIG Finish” Farewell Tour
Hairspray, high notes, and monster riffs – MR. BIG just rocked Europe with the final leg of their epic “The BIG Finish” farewell tour! This tour is a victory lap for the veteran rockers, showcasing their iconic 1991 album “Lean Into It” in its entirety alongside other fan favorites from their illustrious career.
The “BIG Finish” tour announcement last year was bittersweet. It marked the end of a chapter for the band following the passing of their beloved drummer Pat Torpey in 2018 from Parkinson’s disease. However, the band vowed to celebrate their legacy and give fans one last chance to experience the magic of MR. BIG live.
The tour kicked off with a bang in July and August 2023, delivering sold-out shows across Japan and Southeast Asia. Over 11 electrifying nights, MR. BIG rocked audiences at legendary venues like the Budokan in Tokyo, proving their enduring appeal to hundreds of thousands of loyal fans.
Stepping in for the irreplaceable Torpey is drumming powerhouse Matt Girard. Matt‘s impressive resume boasts collaborations with artists like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, ensuring a seamless and powerful performance behind the kit.
MR. BIG may be nearing the end of “The BIG Finish” tour, but their music will undoubtedly continue to ignite stages and earbuds worldwide. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or just discovering their infectious brand of melodic rock, be sure to check out their extensive catalog and celebrate the legacy of this legendary band.
