Monster Energy and Idol Roc Entertainment have announced the
line-up for the 2012 Monster Energy Outbreak Tour. Headliner Asking
Alexandria will be joined by support acts As I Lay Dying, Suicide Silence,
Memphis May Fire and Attila. The line-up secured prompted tour producer
Steve Glazer (Idol Roc Entertainment) to share, "Without question this is
the strongest lineup we've assembled for Outbreak to date. Each year we promise
to grow our brand and it all starts with delivering the fans an undeniable
lineup of artists on the rise paired with an affordable ticket price."
Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce stated, "America,
we are back, we are excited, we are ready and we are fucking headlining! This
is our biggest headlining tour ever and we are bringing with us, the biggest,
heaviest and best bands that rock has to offer. This Monster Energy
Outbreak Tour is going to be fucking insane, more so especially due to the
fact that this is not only going to be our last tour of the year and our last
tour in America for quite awhile, but also because this is going to be the last
tour on the Reckless and Relentless album cycle. We will be playing songs from
Stand Up and Scream, Reckless and Relentless and a handful of brand new songs
from our upcoming album. You, North America, have been chosen to
hear our new songs before anyone else in the world. Let's make this a tour to
fucking remember. Lets end 2012 bigger, better and harder than anywhere else on
this earth. We can't wait to see you all. If 2012 really is the end of the
world, then all I can say is....we are going out with a bang motherfuckers! We
will see you all soon.”
Headliner Asking Alexandria has arrived. Following a
2011 that saw the band open for the legendary Guns N' Roses, perform in
numerous arenas with Avenged Sevenfold, and enjoy sold-out after sold-out
headlining show across the U.S., success exponentially exploded in 2012.
The band staged a six week sold-out European headlining tour, which was
followed by a North American run with Trivium as direct support this past
Spring that drew big numbers. The band will enter the studio in October
prior to the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour to place the finishing touches on
their much anticipated third full-length effort. The disc is set for an
early 2013 release. The current album Reckless and Relentless,
debuted at #9 on the Billboard Top 200 charts scanning an impressive 31,449
units, marking the biggest first week sales for any artist in the history of
Sumerian Records.
The full itinerary will be announced September 7.
