Cradle of Filth, CKY highlight Viva La Bands roster
Metal outfit Cradle of Filth will take the top slot on the hard-rocking Viva La Bands tour, which will scream across North America beginning in late September.
The tour, promoted as a partnership between MTV/action-sports star Bam Margera and Rockstar Energy Drink, will launch Sept. 24 in Baltimore, the first of 30 stops on the schedule. Dates are listed below.
The tour's lineup also includes CKY, which features Margera's brother Jesse, and Swedish rockers Vains of Jenna , whom Margera recently signed to his Filthy Note recording label. The tour's publicist said that "a very special guest act" would be revealed later this summer, and additional guest appearances are expected throughout the tour.
"It's a new age vaudeville show," Margera said in a press release about the tour, which will feature appearances along the way from Bam as well as "some of his well-known friends."
"My MTV shows sometimes don't air the really funny or risky scenes, so I raided their vault and decided to put the best never-before-seen clips on tour," Margera continued. "I'll also preview some behind-the-scenes footage from my new film currently in production, 'Minghags.'"
The tour will follow shortly after the Sept. 4 release of "Viva La Bands: Volume 2," a dual CD/DVD that features tracks from 20 bands (including brand new songs by Clutch, Bloodhound Gang, Children of Bodom, In Flames, CKY and others), as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Margera and others. The set is a dual venture between Filthy Note and Ferret Music.
