REM to play Twickenham
12:48pm Monday 25th February 2008
Rock legends REM are to play Twickenham this summer as one of a four-date UK tour.
The band - Michael Stipe, Peter Buck and Mike Mills- will finish their summer tour at Twickenham on August 30 after dates in Manchester, Cardiff and Southampton.
They are also playing the Royal Albert Hall next month.
Tickets for the UK stadium gigs go on sale on Friday.
The stadium, which is expected to attract 82,000 rugby fans for the England-Ireland Six Nations clash on March 15, will also host two Bon Jovi concerts in June.
