NXT heading to France and Belgium in June
NXT will be debuting in two European countries when the brand heads overseas in June.
While announcing a return for this year’s Download Festival, WWE revealed that NXT would also be holding its first shows in France and Belgium as part of the tour. NXT is coming to Cirque d’Hiver in Paris on June 11th and Stadsschouwburg in Antwerp on the 12th.
This will be the third straight year that NXT has been part of the Download Festival lineup. It’s a heavy metal and rock music festival at Donington Park in Derby, England, and there will be NXT shows there from June 8th-10th.
Though it’s noted that this is subject to change, Aleister Black, Ricochet, Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Shayna Baszler, Kairi Sane, Nikki Cross, and Velveteen Dream are advertised for the tour.
Tickets for the tour stops in Paris and Antwerp will go on sale tomorrow at 9 a.m. Central European time.
