Good Charlotte, Four Year Strong & Framing Hanley Confirmed For Kerrang! Relentless Tour & Tickets

Californian pop-punks Good Charlotte are to return to the UK early next year, topping the bill at 2011's Kerrang Relentless Energy Drink Tour.

Preparing the release of their new album 'Cardiology' on November 1st, Good Chalotte will be joined on the road by Massachusetts hardcore collective Four Year Strong as well as Nashville-based Framing Hanley.

The whistle-stop tour will take in eleven dates across the UK and Ireland and will get underway at Dublin Academy on February 4th before hitting venues in Southampton, Norwich, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Newcastlke, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham. The tour will conclude at London's Roundhouse on February 18th.

Good Charlotte's guitarist Benji Madden had this to say about taking to the road with Kerrang!. "This is really exciting for us, Kerrang! have always been a big supporter of our band and it's something we don't take for granted. This is the first time we've done anything like this, especially in the UK, and I think it's long overdue. It's going to be like one long party! We can't wait to hang out with Four Year Strong and Framing Hanley too. The bill is so strong - people are going to get their money's worth!”

Melodic hardcore five-piece Four Year Strong also revealed their excitement for the tour, with guitarist and vocalist Alan Day saying. “We're really excited to do this. We love coming over to the UK because the shows are always amazing. We're really looking forward to starting the tour in Ireland, too. We've never been to Dublin, so I'm going to be the biggest tourist ever and do all the sightseeing I can. This tour is going to be unbelievable!"

Framing Hanley frontman Kenneth Nixon also had a few words to say, revealing that he finds it “surreal” that he'll be touring with Good Charlotte. "I think that's the best way of explaining it!" he laughs. "In 2002, I remember playing (Good Charlotte's 2000 debut single) 'Little Things' at a party! Eight years on, it's crazy to think we'll be hitting the road with these guys. It's going to be awesome. We feel that this is a big opportunity for our band and it's really flattering to be part of this tour," he adds. "It's a diverse bill and I think that's one of the coolest things about this tour. This is a huge step for us and it's exciting to be on a bill with such great bands. Being in the support slot, you're pushed to put on a better show and prove yourself night after night. We always thrive in that situation. We really can't wait."

That’s not all too. One more band is to be confirmed in the coming weeks!
