Fearless Vampire Killers announce first UK headline tour for April

Following their successful stint on this year’s Kerrang! Tour, Fearless Vampire Killers are pleased to announce that they’ll be setting out on their first headline tour of the UK this April.

The Diamonds and Disgrace Tour kicks off in Birmingham on April 13th and will be themed around the band’s latest release, Exposition: The Five Before The Flames. Co-vocalist Kier Kemp has this to say of the tour "We're all super excited to be getting back out on the road so soon! We all felt like the Kerrang! tour taught us a lot. Not just about how to play but also how amazing and dedicated our followers really are!’

Joining them on the road will be Fort Hope, the new project of four former My Passion members - Jon Gaskin, Andé D'Mello, Simon Rowlands and Jamie Nicholls - who’ll be performing live for the first time under their new guise. ‘We’re excited to be playing again, especially with the fearless boys.’ Says drummer Jamie Nicholls ‘It's a great tour with big venues and I'm sure we will see plenty of familiar faces along the way.’

Tickets for a number of the Diamonds and Disgrace tour dates will be available via Live Nation as a pre-sale from 9am on Wed 20th Feb: http://www.livenation.co.uk/artist/fearless-vampire-killers-tickets

Kerrang! Tour 2013 Line Up Announced

Get ready, the Kerrang! Tour is back for 2013 with 11 huge nights across the UK!
Kerrang!, the UK’s biggest selling music weekly magazine, have created another stellar line up for February next year featuring headliners Black Veil Brides,  Chiodos, Tonight Alive and Fearless Vampire Killers.  

Following the success of the 2012 tour, which featured New Found Glory, The Blackout, letlive and While She Sleeps, this year’s line- up features some of this year’s most talked about and hotly tipped bands.

Black Veil Brides will head back across the Atlantic to headline the Kerrang! Tour after having a phenomenal year. They headlined their biggest UK tour to date and gained huge acclaim for their album “Set The World On Fire”. Their new album “Wretched and Divine” will be released in early 2013. Andy Biersack, Black Veil Brides said:
"I’m really excited to be part of the Kerrang! Tour 2013. It’s really cool to be a part of something that has so much history that its reputation has crossed the Atlantic. Kerrang! have really supported us since day one, that it feels like we have a really great relationships together. Our live show is a huge part of our band. We’ll be arriving battle-ready!”

Next February, Black Veil Brides will be joined by Michigan-based outfit Chiodos. The band recently announced their reunited lineup of Craig Owens (vocals), Bradley Bell (keyboards), Jason Hale (guitar), Pat McManaman (guitar), Matt Goddard (bass) and Derrick Frost (drums). On the Kerrang! Tour, Chiodos will return to the UK to perform together with this line-up, for the first time since early 2009. At the upcoming shows, the band will be performing songs from their first two albums, All's Well That Ends Well and Bone Palace Ballet - which combined have sold over 500k units worldwide.

Also joining the Kerrang! tour are the brilliant Sydney 5 piece Tonight Alive. From supporting the likes of Lostprophets and The Blackout, to headlining their own tour, Tonight Alive just released their debut album ‘What Are You Scared Of?’ produced by Mark Trombino and featuring Mark Hoppus from Blink 182.

Completing the line-up are Kerrang!
