Says Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory
about the tour: "I wanted to give you a brilliant quote about trying to
keep rock music alive by assembling bills that can sell out arenas
where everyone can have the production rock shows deserve, or bringing
out new talented bands and expose them to huge crowds... or about
rebuilding a community with the help of rock radio, and donating to good
causes while we are at it... but we are so busy doing it that I ran out
of quotes".
Shinedown has always been about sharing the undeniable power of rock music," says Shinedown frontman Brent Smith.
"And performing live is where we make that connection most directly,
where we can truly experience that power together with our fans in its
purest form because we are literally sharing the same physical space,
living in that moment as one. Five Finger Death Punch shares that
passion and commitment, and, like us, leaves it all out on the stage
every single night. Come experience the power of rock music with us."
"We
are really excited and proud to be part of this tour with FFPD and
Shinedown. Having spent many months in the studio recording Prayers for
the Damned, it will give us the opportunity to play our new songs and
hits in arenas", says bassist Nikki Sixx. "They have been such
supporters of new music and we are grateful for the opportunity to be a
part of this powerful night of music!" adds vocalist & producer
James Michael. "I can't tell you how excited we are to be sharing the
bill with FFDP and Shinedown, this tour is going to be off the f'n
chain, can't wait to see you all out there!" states guitarist Dj Ashba.
"This will be the most explosive and dynamic rock tour these cities have ever experienced!" added Frank Productions president Charlie Goldstone.
The
bands have partnered to donate $1 from each ticket sold on the tour to
four hand-picked charitable organizations close to their hearts: Five
Finger Death Punch chose the Badge of Honor Memorial Foundation, Shinedown selected MusiCares, SIXX:A.M. will support Jada Pinkett Smith's Anti-Human Trafficking organization Don't Sell Bodies, and As Lions will donate to Make A Wish America.
In addition to the $1 donation per ticket, the bands have teamed up
with Crowdrise to give fans the option to enter for the chance to win
VIP tickets plus a Meet & Greet by choosing to donate an additional
$5 at the time of purchase. Fans who don't live in one of the cities on
the tour, but would still like to support the efforts, can visit Crowdrise
to donate $5 and be entered for a chance to win a flyaway to the show
of their choice plus a Meet & Greet with all four bands.
Coinciding with the announcement of the Fall tour, Five Finger Death Punch are also celebrating the platinum certification of their 2009 album War Is The Answer, as well as the gold certification of their 2013 album The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell, Vol. 1.

- with an electrifying performance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!."

four gold and a platinum album. With the release of 2013's The Wrong
Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell Volume 1 (recently

million albums over the past three years in North America alone. The
band is currently taking Got Your Six around the world touring
throughout 2017. Don't miss the brand new lyric video for " Boots and Blood," from Got Your Six, premiering tomorrow, April 27th. For more info on the band, visit: www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com.

last fall, "THREAT TO SURVIVAL" debuted at #1 on both Billboard's Rock
Albums and Hard Rock Albums chart, and #5 overall on the Billboard 200.
