FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, PAPA ROACH Join For Fall Tour By Larry Petro, News Monkey Monday, May 25, 2015 @ 1:35 PM
Larry Frank, CEO of Frank Productions/NS2 notes: “FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and PAPA ROACH are the two most dynamic live rock bands touring today. We can’t wait to blow away fans across the U.S. with a show this huge.”
In an innovative move, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and PAPA ROACH actively involved the fans by giving them the opportunity to request the tour come to their city via a “demand campaign” housed HERE and HERE. An overwhelming 1.5 million people responded to the call to action and made their voices heard.
Says Zoltan Bathory (guitar) of FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH: “This tour is shaping up to be the perfect storm. We are really good friends with PAPA ROACH so for years we've been talking about touring together and it’s finally coming together in a big way. Both 5FDP and PAPA ROACH are bands of the people - our fans are who propelled us to success. So what better way than to give the fans ownership in the tour? In the world of Wikipedia and Kickstarter where crowd funding and crowd sourcing has become the standard of community effort and the new way of making things happen this might quite possibly be the future of touring - you simply ask the fans where they want you to go”.
"We are super excited to be sharing the stage on this co-headliner with FFDP,” says PAPA ROACH vocalist, Jacoby Shaddix. “This will give PAPA ROACH the chance to put on the best, most epic live show to date. Our fans are going to be so stoked for these shows coming up. We seriously can't wait to get out on the road for this tour."
Special guests will be IN THIS MOMENT with support from debut artist FROM ASHES TO NEW. Fans will get to see four of rock’s most exciting, relevant bands under one roof on one night for $40 - a nice price for a package sure to excite fans who voted to bring the tour to their town.
Coinciding with the tour announcement today, the bands also launched a special video about the tour which contains a pre-view to the first new single, “Jekyll And Hyde”, from FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH’s forthcoming sixth full-length studio album, Got Your Six, to be released globally on August 28th.
Maria Brink (vocals) and Chris Howorth (guitars) of IN THIS MOMENT: “We are beyond excited to tour North America with our good friends FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and PAPA ROACH! Our bands have known each other for a long time and have done various shows and tours together over the years, but we've never combined forces like this. It's big and it's beautiful, faces will be melted, souls will be crushed--this is definitely a tour not to be missed!”
FROM ASHES TO NEW vocalist Matt Brandyberry says: "We are beyond ecstatic to be a part of such an amazing lineup. This honestly, is a dream come true for us to be playing with such inspirational artists. We can't thank everyone enough for believing in us as musicians and giving us the chance to show the world what we are made of!"
