The Amity Affliction are a modern phenomenon and
Australia's biggest and best-loved heavy band. With two consecutive #1 albums
and a string of sold out tours already accomplished, the band will perform for
more fans than ever before on the BIG ASS TOUR, their only major capitals run
this year. Their decade of dominance was recently chronicled in the #1
ARIA-charting DVD Seems Like Forever, which was certified Gold in its first
week on shelves. Their latest album Let The Ocean Take Me was their third
consecutive album to reach Gold certification, and made Amity a household name
around Australia.
Bassist and vocalist Ahren Stringer said, “We're psyched to do this tour with our new friends A Day To Remember! This is the biggest tour we've ever done, and it's going to be something special.”
A Day To Remember are an international success
story. A testament to the power of hard work and integrity, the band have
forged their own path from a small town in Florida to magazine covers and
festival main stages around the globe, including a stint as headliners of
Soundwave 2014. Having sold more than two million albums worldwide, the release
of their newest full length Common Courtesy in 2013 saw them land at #1 on
the Billboard Hard Rock charts and garner more than 50 million streams on the
record to date. The self-released record cemented their standing as one of the
most forward-thinking, popular and critically acclaimed bands in rock. the BIG
ASS TOUR promises to elevate them even further.
The Amity Affliction and A Day To Remember will be joined by their friends The Ghost Inside and Motionless in White, two of
the hottest bands in the scene. Los Angeles' The Ghost Inside are keepers of
the positive hardcore flame, fuelled by last year's phenomenally powerful
Epitaph release Dear Youth and a reputation as artists who will never give up
the search for truth and honesty. They’ve graced the covers of Blunt and
Hysteria Magazines, and have made Australia a second home with a constant
presence on the national touring circuit. Motionless In White make their first
club show appearances in Australia after two performances on Soundwave, and
will be bringing their highly successful album Reincarnate to fans for the
first time after it debuted at #13 on the ARIA charts and #9 on the Billboard
200.
