Epitaph artists The Matches , Escape the Fate , I Am Ghost and The Higher are hitting the highway for the punk label's 2007 tour, which kicks off Feb. 2 in Pomona, CA.
Tickets go on sale Saturday (12/2) for the seven-week run, which ends March 18 in Las Vegas at a venue yet to be announced.
In September, The Matches released "Decomposer," which was co-produced by (+44)'s Mark Hoppus, Rancid's Tim Armstrong, Goldfinger's John Feldman, 311's Nick Hexum and Epitaph founder Brett Gurewitz.
Las Vegas-based hard-rock/screamo outfit Escape the Fate is touring behind this September's "Dying is Your Latest Fashion."
Long Beach, CA-based dark-rock sextet I Am Ghost was named one of Alternative Press magazine's "100 bands you need to know." The band is supporting its debut full-length album, "Lovers' Requiem," issued in October.
Also from Las Vegas, quintet The Higher fuses elements of pop, emo and R&B. Gurewitz personally offered the group a deal with Epitaph based on the strength of 2005's Fiddler Records release "Histrionics" and a performance at the Roxy on West Hollywood, CA's Sunset Strip earlier this year, , according to the group's publicist.
