Which over the years has been provided by the likes of Biffy Clyro, All Tim Low and Mindles Self Indulgence and as the years go by it promises to offer new depths of rock mayhem.
The first year of the Kerrang! tour took place in 2006 under the banner of Kerrang! XXV and fans flocking to venues across the country were able to witness the likes of Bullet for My Valentine, Hawthorne Heights, Still Remains and Aiden. Amongst them, Bullet for My Valentine offered fans the rock sounds that have since made them into one of the most exciting bands around. It may only have been the first year of the show, but the stage was set for more to come.
So in 2007, Kerrang! returned to venues up and down the country, with Biffy Clyro providing the headline sounds of the evening with The Bronx, the Audition and I Am Ghost completing the line up. Biffy Clyro have since gone on to great things and although they were already an established at the time they joined the tour, their mainstream appeal has skyrocketed in recent years, with albums like “Puzzle” and “Only Revolutions” giving them the audience they deserve.
The 2008 Kerrang! Tour featured the hugely popular metal act Coheed and Cambria as the headline act, with Madina Lake, Fightstar and Circa Survive completing the line up. Coheed and Cambria need little introduction and have had massive success with albums like “Year of the Black Rainbow” and “The Second Stage Turbine Blade”.
The Kerrang! Tour then returned in 2009 with Mindless Self Indulgence taking on the headline role alongside support acts Dir En Grey, Bring My The Horizon, Black Tide and In Case of Fire.
2010 saw the Kerrang! Tour enter the new decade and demonstrated All Time Low as a great headline act at venues across the country, laying the foundations of a new decade of fantastic Kerrang! Tours. Support acts included The Blackout, Young Guns, My Passion and, for London only, Jettblack.
Kerrang! has always maintained a firm grip of rock journalism for the last three decades and will continue for some time to come, but with the Kerrang! tour, they demonstrate an ability to bring huge name to the UK music circuit and hopefully, this will continue for some time to come. So make sure you get you Kerrang! tour tickets as soon as they go on sale.
