It’s here! Friday and the day tickets go on sale at 10 AM ET in most cities for the 2012 hardDrive Live Tour with Tremonti! The tour site, www.harddrivelivetour.com, is up and running and we’ll be adding new items to it all the time, so please keep checking in both there and here. The Road to HardDrive Live is two warm-up dates: Sep 11th in West Greenwich, RI at Rock Junction and Sep 12th in NYC at the Highline Ballroom, where we are giving away tickets to sit at the side of the stage and you will get to meet the band! Hit the tour site to enter! HardDrive Live starts in Flint, MI at the legendary Machine Shop and we know this run is going to be killer! Mark is so psyched to be launching his first solo tour and can’t wait to get out there to perform the music from his new album All I Was! The stations in the local tour cities will have tickets, and you will be invited to attend Tremonti’s soundcheck and win a Tremonti PRS model SE guitar! It’s a beauty, too! Be listening to your local stations and if they aren’t offering you tickets, LET ME KNOW! Meanwhile, we are working on a cool contest for you to enter nationally, so even though the tour might not be coming where you live, we will have a chance for you to feel like it was! So keep an eye here and on the hardDriveLiveTour site! Currently, Mark is on the road with Creed, which ends on Sep 9th….Meanwhile, Slipknot‘s two-day Knotfest starts tonight in Council Bluffs, IA and tomorrow night in Somerset, WI at Float Rite. Both days will include sets from Deftones, Lamb Of God, Machine Head, Serj Tankian and Prong, with additional acts performing at each event. Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan wants fans to come and have the time of their lives: “I want you to smell it, I want you to taste it, I want you to see it, I want you to hear it, I want you to go home and say that your life has been fulfilled and you can’t wait for the next year.”…Have a great weekend and check back for updates on the 2012 hardDrive Live Tour!
