Kerrang!
Kerrang! is pleased to announce that the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Tour 2010 is back for another year and as always is bringing you some of the hottest young bands in rock. Headliners All Time Low, The Blackout, Young Guns and My Passion will be hitting 11 cities across the UK and Ireland in January 2010.
Kicking off at The Academy in Dublin on 23 January, the tour will then make its way through the UK culminating in a very special London show at The Roundhouse in Camden on 5 February. Tickets for all shows are just £15 advance.
Headlining the tour is All Time Low, who will be coming back to the UK after a two month long US tour. Gaining exposure through MTV and TRL, this band has fast become one of the hottest pop punk bands in the US and the UK. They worked alongside Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus on their album Nothing Personal, which went into the Billboard charts at number 4 – selling over 63,000 copies.
The Blackout are one of the most hardworking home-grown bands out there - this Welsh six-piece have toured relentlessly around the world, with stints on Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos as well as selling out venues across the UK. They released their storming second album The Best In Town in May 2009 and have been non-stop since. These lads from the valleys are stepping out of the mould and are giving even the most successful rock acts a run for their money!
Young Guns have begun to make quite the impact in rock circles over the last year – since the release of their EP Mirrors this London based quintet have been taking the rock world by storm, winning them various fans amongst the media. They have toured alongside the likes of Taking Back Sunday, The Used and Lostprophets as well as their very first appearance at Download Festival. They are fast becoming one of the most talked about and exciting unsigned UK bands around.
My Passion are four young men with a fearless, rebellious intention, DIY ethics and a genre-smashing electronic induced metallic punk sound. Word quickly spread as they took their energetic show on the road, racking up almost 500 shows at the last count. Crowds swelled due to word of mouth, as well as those who discovered My Passion online via their MySpace page, which now has over 1 million plays. Things are only going from strength to strength for My Passion.
