The concert will take place at London's Alexandra Palace from May 25-27 with the band performing on the final day. The Afghan Whigs formed in Cincinnati in late 1986, delivering a string of critically acclaimed albums and blistering live performances throughout the '90s until they finally disbanded in 2001.
Afghan Whigs have also announced that frontman Greg Dulli will curate the All Tomorrow's Parties fest in Asbury Park, N.J., where they will headline on Sept. 22, 2012.
The band will be replacing Guided by Voices, another recently reunited band, in the London lineup. Despite their cancellation (and a spate of rumors), the GBV reunion is still on the books, with a new album, 'Let's Go Eat the Factory,' due out in January. The lo-fi rockers are also at work on another LP, 'Class Clown Spots a UFO,' and frontman Robert Pollard will release a solo record, 'Mouseman Cloud,' in March.

Afghan wigs? Hmmmmmm I guess I am stuck on Jimi Hendrix and The Beattles...I think I think I think I have a lot to learn. Besides if AGILE AGONY was affected by their tunes I might be intrigued enough to find out why ...............*

I thank all of you for noticing nothing of an amazing band that had at least three side projects you have never heard of either. Listen to top 20 while I enjoy the Gutter Twins, Twilight Singers, and the 6 Afghan Wigs albums that changed my life.
