"The first annual Vans "Off-the-Wall" Club Tour is about to kickoff. Southern California punk rockers IGNITE are teaming up with Vans Footwear, Hurley Intl., Visions Magazine and Supersonic Records to bring to Europe the first ever Vans "Off-the-Wall" Club Tour which will begin late February. This new tour concept will bring back the intimacy lost at the festivals by bringing bands and fans together in clubs ranging from 500 -1500 in capacity. The tour will feature a total of 4 bands, 3 of which are still being confirmed. IGNITE's A Place Called Home will hit European record stores on February 19 and feature two previously unreleased track. The band will head over to Europe on February 17 to participate in a live chat scheduled for the 19th. The tour will also be a platform to create awareness for organizations such as Project Blue Sea and Doctor's without Borders with a portion of the proceeds from the tour being donated to these organizations to continue their fight. Fans will also be given information at the shows as to how they can get involved with these organizations.
Dates will be announced later next week.
Stay tuned for more info…
" Wow, those Vans guys are busy, they sell off the Warped Tour, and they're already into a new tour. How long till they sell this one to a dot-com? Seriously though, I'm happy that Vans is putting together so many high profile shows, it's a positive visibility for the scene.
