Theres a lot of stuff to cover. Mods- feel free to add this stuff to your news page. Fans- spread this to any websites that would be interested. Here we go....
1)The guys recently returned from an almost entirely sold-out European tour. AB's European fans' continue to prove that they are some of the most passionate and hysterical rock fans on the planet. All of the shows were incredibly energetic. The band will return to Europe in early June to play the Download Festival, among several other festivals, as part of the next AB European tour. The band's international profile is boiling, and Kerrang Magazine's review of the London show plainly illustrates that; the band played to a sold-out crowd of over 2,000 at The Astoria, setting the tone for the rest of the tour.
2)Alter Bridge will be headlining this Spring's Jagermeister Music Tour with special guests Future Leaders of the World and Submersed. The tour kicks off on March 29th in New York City. See below for all the tour dates.
