This is as real as hardcore lineups gets, so make sure you stage dive your heart out to a series of passionate songs. General admission tickets will be on sale this Friday at 10am EST, but you can now pick up a ticket bundle comes with a ticket, a silk-screened poster, and an exclusive vinyl that gives a sample of each of the bands on this tour, including three brand new tracks. The tracklist is as follows:
1. Stick to Your Guns- Dove and Fist (NEW SONG)
2. Counterparts- Monument
3. Terror- No Road Too Long (NEW SONG)
4. Year of the Knife- Sick Statistic (NEW SONG)
5. Sanction- Untitled
As of now, there’s no news on whether or not any of these bands are going to have new records out in time for the tour, but be sure to keep your eyes peeled, especially on Year of the Knife and Sanction. Year of the Knife just put out their Ultimate Aggression compilation -- which stitches together everything they’ve released thus far -- on Pure Noise Records earlier in April. Sanction is fresh off of their tour supporting Knocked Loose and deathcore legends The Acacia Strain.
