SYMPHONY X and ICED EARTH will join forces for a North American co-headlining tour in early 2012. Here's the official announcement:
What do you get when you mix equal parts "Dystopia" and "Iconoclast"? One of the most eagerly anticipated Metal tours of 2012. "I'm excited to tour with SYMPHONY X," ICED EARTH founder Jon Schaffer said. "They're phenomenal musicians and very cool guys. This co-headliner tour will be a great experience for the fans. It is also way overdue for us to play a proper tour of North America. Get ready!"
SYMPHONY X guitarist Michael Romeo echoes Schaffer’s enthusiasm.
"We are very excited about the upcoming North American tour with ICED EARTH", Romeo said. "We first met Jon & the guys a few years back and they were really cool. When the idea of a Co-Headline tour surfaced, we thought it would be awesome. The fans can expect a night of great music from both bands. We look forward to seeing you all real soon!"
The three-month, 30+-date, co-headliner tour begins January 31st in Hartford, Connecticut, and concludes March 10th in Clifton Park, New York. At that point, ICED EARTH will continue another week - without SYMPHONY X - for five more dates. See our Tour page for a complete itinerary.
