Poland, the Netherlands, Croatia, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
Kravitz will be promoting his new album, Electric Blue Light, which will be released in various formats (vinyl double album, picture disc, CD, deluxe edition) by Roxie Records on 24 May - two days before he celebrates his 60th birthday.
