Protest the hero headline tour 2009-03-02 by acetasoad | 47 Comments | One of underground metal’s favorite bands, Protest
The Hero are ecstatic to announce
their very first headlining tour of the US.
Riding the acclaim of their sophomore record,
'Fortress' (Vagrant 01/08 ), Protest The Hero has
done nothing short of rousing a variety
of audiences with their live show as well.
Come April, Protest the Hero will step out
into their own spotlight to headline the month
long “Heads Will Roll” Tour, sponsored by
Merch Now, Atticus Clothing and MetalSucks.net.
From pulling in their own packed, sweaty crowds
on the Ernie Ball stage at last summer’s
Vans Warped Tour, to their recent treks as
support for Unearth and As I Lay Dying,
Protest the Hero have proven they have both
the determination and the chops to step out
in front of crowds of all types and win over
new fans. Misery Signals, The Number Twelve
Looks Like You, Scale The Summit, and Fall
From Grace will join them as support. Tickets
are on sale now.
'Fortress' was one of the most favorably
reviewed heavy records of 2008. Protest The
Hero has earned the title of “Muse for metalheads”
from Revolver, who graded the album
4.5/5, in addition to scores of 4/5 stars from
Alternative Press and 8/10 from Decibel.
In addition, Protest The Hero was also
recently nominated for a Juno in the category
of “Best Rock Album.”

| | | Shit... let me know when they hit Canada.
| | | Why does no one come to mexico
| | | ^ Dunno, Mexico would be an awesome place to tour.
Gonna try and catch them in LA. Down to see Misery Signals as well!

| | | Who's going to be the first band to be sponsored by SputnikMusic.com?
| | | Ok, two things. I miss all the good bands that come to Wisconsin. And bands that are good rarely come to Wisconsin....Protest being one of them.
| | | no NC dates
will not be attending 
| | | no canada dates?
crappy. it's been a while since they headlined in this country, screw America. I wanna see them in some shit club like L3 in St. Catharines
| | | I can't wait to move closer to NYC... my area blows at good tours

Hence the "headlining U.S. tour" part in the article.

| | | No Europe in the US tour 
| | | fucking amazing
5/09 nyC
| | | holy shit i'm so catching the soma show
| | | Might go to the MN show, even though I have not listened to PTH......
| | | Anaheim! look forward to the show. Misery Signals and Scale the Summit should be cool to see live. not a fan of Number 12 Looks Like You though
| | | oh shit, didn't even notice they were playing chain
| | | i like both the Knitting Factory and Chain Reaction but Anaheim is closer to me and i can crash at my bro's house after
| | | no va =[ maybe i'll drive up to md for it.
| | | Masquerade 5/04... Thanks to the gods. Will be there!
| | | ORLANDO HERE I COME!
| | | I demand a UK tour!
| | | Sweet. Sonar in Balitmore is a pretty small place, great place to see bands like this. Last time I saw them was at the Recher in Towson...also pretty small. These guys have a pretty good energy in their live act.
| | | No freaking dates anywhere near me. This would be a hellaciously awesome tour. =[
| | | Just bought my tix for the Seattle date!
| | | Hmmm...May 9th. Right during finals.
Oh well. Will go anyways. Finally they get a decent set time.
