Yellowcard plans USO tour for troops in Persian Gulf

Yellowcard will be headed to the Persian Gulf to perform a series of shows for enlisted men and women serving abroad.

This is the first USO tour
for Yellowcard, who will hang out with armed forces, sign autographs and treat
U.S. troops to a selection of hit songs from all their albums. Frontman Ryan Key notes:

We're really excited about going to the Middle East with the USO and
performing for the troops. It's a
privilege to have the opportunity to visit and entertain those that serve our
nation. This tour isn't just a treat for them but also for us.

Since before the U.S. entered World War II, the United Service Organization has been the constant link
between the American people and the U.S. military. In times of peace and war,
the USO has consistently delivered its special brand of entertainment and
comfort to service men and women. Entertainers who recently participated in
USO tours include Robin Williams, Lance Armstrong, Lewis Black, Rachel Smith,
Ronan Tynan, Sheryl Underwood, Keni Thomas, Darryl Worley, Tito Ortiz, Kellie
Pickler, and many others.
