Staind leads new Jagermeister bill
Staind , Three Days Grace and Hurt have signed on to tour the US as part of the fifth Jagermeister Music Tour, which kicks off April 20 in McAllen, TX.
"We're definitely excited to be playing the Jager tour," Staind singer Aaron Lewis said in a press release. "It's a huge deal for serious hard rock fans and we're looking forward to giving them a show to remember."
Dates are scattered throughout the United States; the confirmed itinerary as of press time is below. According to a press release, additional shows are tentatively planned for Phoenix; Reno, NV; Las Vegas; Cleveland, OH; New York City; Hampton Beach, NH; Boston; Providence, RI; Washington, DC; Wichita, KS; Des Moines, IA; Huntsville, AL; and Shreveport, LA.
Staind 's fifth album, "Chapter V," debuted last summer at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart, marking the Massachusetts-based band's third consecutive chart topper. The effort has spawned three radio hits: "Right Here," "Falling" and "Everything Changes."
Canadian trio Three Days Grace , which made its mark with the hit "(I Hate) Everything About You," recently released the album "One X." Hurt serves up its debut, "Vol. 1," on March 21.
Each Jagermeister Music Tour show will be hosted by Lizard Man, the reptilian stuntman/showman, and rounded out by a Jagermeister-sponsored band.
The first 300 fans at each show will receive a free tour program guide from Volume Magazine. According to a press release, tickets, which will be priced at about $30, will be on sale "soon."
