Heralded by many as the best British metal band around at the moment, Bullet For My Valentine are set up for a massive headline tour in November.
By then it will be over a year since the release of their cracking debut album The Poison and nine months after their last headline tour, which took in venues such as Brixton Academy. It's to be their last tour before they scuttle off into the studio to record their next album.
After selling over half a million copies of their album and putting in a storming main stage appearance at Download, the Bullet boys will be finishing of touring with the current dates with Guns N Roses and main stage appearances at Reading and Leeds festivals.
Tour support is well and truly Cali metalcore with Trustkill's Orange County bruisers Bleeding Through and San Diego quintet As I Lay Dying bringing their overdone double-kick metallic hardcore to the crowds before anyone really gives a shit.
Tickets are on sale from 4 August from the band's website and cost £15. Here's the dates.
November 13 Leeds University 14 Liverpool University 16 Norwich UEA 17 Camrbridge Corn Exchange 19 Glasgow Barrowlands 20 Edinburgh Corn Exchange 21 Newcastle Academy 22 Manchester Apollo 24 Cardiff Uni 25 Brighton Dome 27 Birmingham Academy 28 Hammersmith Apollo
DiS-cuss: What's the best emo name you can think of? As I Lay Dying is pretty good. But so are the very metal Thine Eyes Bleed and the very, very serious It Dies Today. Your thoughts?
