August Burns Red Announce Dates with Blessthefall, Defeater + Beartooth
After spending their summer on Warped Tour, metalcore stalwarts August Burns Red will be touring in support of their latest album 'Rescue & Restore' with a November/December trek featuring Blessthefall, Defeater and Beartooth.
The North American tour kicks off Nov. 1 in Philadelphia and runs through Dec. 15 in Lancaster, Pa. The public on-sale date for tickets is Aug. 23, but fans can purchase tickets and premium bundles including t-shirts, hats, dog tags, posters and more here.
'Rescue & Restore' debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Top 200 last month. In a recent interview, guitarist and principal songwriter JB Brubaker talked about the meaning of the album title.
"I guess the idea behind the title for me is that our genre of metalcore is watered down from how it used to be -- the genre has gotten pretty popular and as a result it’s also gotten pretty cookie cutter. The idea behind the title, for me as a person who came up with the title – as a band we wanted to kind of rescue the genre and make it exciting like how it used to be and restore it to the glory days when it was still new and exciting."
Before the North American tour, August Burns Red have a European run planned for September that will take them to Germany, Sweden, Norway, Poland and elsewhere.
