After a longer break from any live performances due to the tragic passing of founding member and guitarist Piotr Grudzinski on February 21st, 2016, Progressive Rock masters RIVERSIDE have just successfully completed their return to stages with two very special sold-out tribute shows in their hometown of Warsaw, Poland in front of more than 4,000 people.
The band has checked in with the following comment:
"Two amazing, cathartic, unforgettable, one-of-a-kind evenings with a one-of-a-kind audience.
Now we know. We are definitely moving on.
And our tour in April and May will also be cathartic and unforgettable - The opening of the new chapter."
