‘A Bigger Bang’ World Tour opened in Boston in August 2005 and ever since critics and fans have been in agreement about their admiration and the sheer excitement that continues to characterize the live Rolling Stones experience. The tour has been attended by more than one and a half million people making ‘A Bigger Bang’ the most successful U.S. tour of all time. Just last month, the band performed for 2 million people at their free concert in Rio de Janeiro, which marked the half way point in their world tour.
Continuing their tradition of bringing some of the hottest acts – both legendary and new – to their fans, The "Rolling Stones: A Bigger Bang" World Tour announced today that multi-platinum selling rockers THE LIVING END will be their special guests at their Sydney concert and their guests in Melbourne will be AIRBOURNE.
It was more than a decade ago that a Melbourne rockabilly covers outfit called the Runaway Boys wrote a bunch of original tunes and changed their name to THE LIVING END. Ten and a bit years later, that same band have racked up a quintuple-platinum album, two platinum and five gold records, won three ARIA awards, countless other accolades and gathered fans all over the world. It has been a great start to the year for the band, with their album State Of Emergency debuting at #1 on the Australian ARIA Chart, their single Wake Up #1 most requested song on Channel [V] and a whopping 6 Jack Award nominations. Fresh off the plane from performances at the SxSW Festival in Austin Texas, THE LIVING END are guitarist Chris Cheney, bass player Scott Owen and drummer Andy Strachan.
A great Rock & Roll band leaves you feeling like you’ve just been hit over the head with a big hard dose of rock, they give you such a good time that you just can’t help but grin from ear to ear, and like nothing you ever experience again will feel the same. That is AIRBOURNE. Aged between 18-22 one would think that Joel & Ryan (brothers), Roadsy & Streety just haven’t had the years to have the kind of rock ‘sixth sense’ that they have, but with hair flying and guitars blazing AIRBOURNE know how to tear up a stage as well as any of the rock greats.
