at the Congresgebouw in The Hague [Holland] on Tuesday, 23rd May, 1978, presented by Paul Acket, and with
Dire Straits
as special guests. The show in The Hague was part of Styx’s Spring 1978 European tour in support of
The Grand Illusion
, their seventh studio album, released on 7th July, 1977. The album launched the band to stardom, spawning the hit singles “Come Sail Away” and “Fooling Yourself”, and selling over three million copies in the US alone. Prior to going on tour with Styx, Dire Straits had been busy in the Basing Street Studios in London recording their self-titled debut album, produced by Muff Winwood. Featuring the hit single “Sultans of Swing”, which reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, the album was released on 7th October, 1978 and was certified double-platinum in both the United States and the United Kingdom. The poster comes from the archives of promoter Paul Acket.
The poster is HUGE and measures a massive 82.5 x 114.4 cm (approx. 32.5" by 45" inches) and is beautifully printed on thin, uncoated paper stock. Folded as issued with light wear along the fold lines.
