New Found energy, New Found purpose; New Found Glory is back in the ring.

New Found Glory has never sounded more incredible, and as their legion of Australian fans can attest to they have taken the genre by the throat and defined it with their sound.

Southern California quintet Saosin are one of the fastest-growing headliners in rock –touring with heavyweights like AFI, Avenged Sevenfold, My Chemical Romance and Taking Back Sunday and garnering an ocean of fans who’ve downloaded their songs from MySpace over five million times.

Hailed as one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 by Alternative Press, ‘In Search Of Solid Ground’ is a remarkable step forward for the band. “Saosin’s spidery, riff-rocking attack is brawny and nuanced, and they know their way around a big chorus” - Rolling Stone

Springing out of the Ohio cornfields in 2003, Hit The Lights have managed to establish themselves as one of the most irresistibly catchy pop/punk bands around. On the back of their latest EP ‘Coast To Coast’ they have managed to not only help define a genre, but they have become “the unadulterated voice of kids with skateboards and iPods.” – TruePunk.com

The highly infectious triple bill of New Found Glory, Saosin and Hit The Lights will wind its way around Australia in April.
