MONSTER TRUCK Announce Nov-Dec European Tour with BILLY TALENT
Still in the midst of their arena tour with Nickelback, the Canadian hard-rockin’ juggernaut Monster Truck, are ready to return to Europe in November and December as main support for BILLY TALENT.
Talking about the tour, Monster Truck guitarist Jeremy Widerman says “So I know what you’re thinking: we’ve been on tour now for about a month in Europe, and that we probably won’t be coming back soon… But you’re wrong! Because we’re here to announce that we’re coming back with Billy Talent in November and December. We’re gonna be hitting Germany, Austria, Poland and Switzerland, and we’re stoked to announce the dates!”
The tour follows the release of their new album Sittin’ Heavy which has received rave reviews; being hailed as “fresh and exciting” by Metal Hammer, how they “set the bar to unprecedented heights” by Rock Sound, proclaiming the new record is “relentless and unstoppable” according to Guitarist and a “hard rocking masterpiece” by Big Cheese. As well as guitar legend Slash backing their corner, Dee Snider can’t get enough of them saying “Holy Fuck, this band rocks” whilst Dave Navarro has come out with ‘Killer band, great guitar playing.”
In true road warrior style they have learnt their chops on tour and have been relentlessly tearing through shows and have already opened for the mighty; Gun’s n Roses, Slash, Alice in Chains, ZZ Top, Buckcherry, Rival Sons, Volbeat, Black Stone Cherry and Vista Chino over the last 2 years and are ready to show the Billy Talent fans how hard-rocking they can be.
