MONSTER TRUCK is confirmed to appear as direct support for ALTER BRIDGE on a USA coast-to-coast run. The 12-date tour will begin on April 14th in Dallas, TX and end on a to be announced date in May. The initial announced appearances on the itinerary are cited below. MONSTER TRUCK was fortunate to appear as support for Slash when they first set their sights on the US market. The guitarist shared:
"MONSTER TRUCK is one of the few really down to earth Rock N Roll bands I've heard in the last couple of years. Hard, soulful & heavy". Singer Myles Kennedy, who enjoys a prolific career as frontman in Slash's ensemble as well as being the vocalist of ALTER BRIDGE, took an interest in MONSTER TRUCK. That relationship, and outspoken support, was the primary driver in delivering this run with two bands sharing the stage. MONSTER TRUCK guitarist Jeremy Wildman offers, "We are extremely excited to tour with one of the top rock acts in America and even happier to rejoin the road with our good friend Myles. See ya soon!" Vocalist and bassist Jon Harvey adds: "Looking forward to watching many stellar shows by the ALTER BRIDGE boys. Watch out America! A real Rock 'N Roll tour is on the way!"
The band has been filmed extensively as they travel the globe, and recently premiered a short-form documentary capturing their essence. It can be streamed below.
