"This tour has a bit of everything for anyone who like's their music a little faster, a little more energetic, something local, something punk, something heavy, something rock, and then us hahaha. It's everything we love, and we couldn't be more siked"

You Me At Six frontman Josh Franceschi commented "We're really happy to announce that we'll be hitting Australia with our boys in Parkway Drive. The shows are going to be HUUUGGGEEE, so if you like either of our bands head down. Ripper!”

Joining Parkway Drive and You Me At Six on The Mix N' Mash Tour will be Orange County's Bleeding Through, Philadelphia's The Wonder Years and Melbourne's Confession.
