King Crimson in 2014

Because so many musicians have played in various formations of King Crimson since the band’s 1968 beginnings, we wouldn’t blame you if you weren’t totally up to date on the current lineup.  Along with Fripp the eighth incarnation of the group includes drummers Gavin Harrison, Bill Rieflin and Pat Mastelotto, bassist Tony Levin, Mel Collins on saxophone and flute and guitarist/vocalist Jakko Jakszyk.

Back in September when Fripp announced that King Crimson was once again planning to tour, he wrote in his DMG Diary that the band jas a “different reformation” than with past lineups.

“This is a very different reformation to what has gone before,” Fripp wrote.  “Seven players, four English and three American, with three drummers.

“The Point Of Crim-Seeing was of a conventional Back Line reconfigured as the Front Line.  The Seven-Headed Beast Of Crim Is In Go! Mode.”
