August Burns Red announce European summer tour dates

Pennsylvanian metalcore band August Burns Red have recently announced European tour dates for this summer.

The band kicked off 2012 with headlining tours of North America, Japan and Australia with stops in New Zealand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Phillippines, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore along the way.

Now they’re on the way to Europe with the announcement of a string of festival and headlining dates throughout the summer that will see ABR hit 13 countries in 4 weeks before returning stateside to support Refused at Philadelphia’s Riot Fest, followed by a return to South America. You can check out the dates here.

Guitarist JB Brubaker had this to say about the tour:

“I can say with all sincerity that ABR has never looked forward to a European tour as much as we are looking forward to our upcoming run in June/July… We haven’t done the ‘festival circuit’ since 2009 and that was one of our favorite overseas tours to date. I’m pumped to have the opportunity to play alongside some legendary bands and in front of some massive crowds!”

August Burns Red’s fourth studio album, Leveler, was released June 2011 via Solid State Records.
