From BBC:
Spoof band Spinal Tap have announced a "world tour" consisting of a single June date at London's Wembley Arena.
The tour marks the 25th anniversary of mockumentary film, This is Spinal Tap, which launched the band's career.
The band will be backed by 1960s folk trio The Folksmen, the focus of another spoof film, 2003's A Mighty Wind.
Spinal Tap's lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel commented: "If we're going to do a World tour on only one night, at least it's this world."
Bassist Derek Smalls added: "one night is not enough, and it's way too much".
Spinal Tap have used a variety of drummers over the years due several untimely deaths, including a spontaneous combustion on stage.
[...] Spinal Tap are played by Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest and Michael McKean. The three actors will be touring America this summer in their own personae for a series of acoustic gigs called Unwigged and Unplugged.
