The Canadian band have been tearing up stages all around the globe for nearly a decade and their live shows are known to explode with pure, unadulterated mayhem, as affirmed by media who have witnessed their incomparable live experience: "It's easy to see why Fucked Up's singer, Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham, has become as close to a superstar as a punk can without joining Green Day." - GUARDIAN.CO.UK "While their singer creates the spectacle, the five other players in Fucked Up are onstage showing off the band's impressive tightness...Fucked Up have evolved from a hardcore punk band in every aspect except ethos; the band's set is a high-mark of intensity and energy that the tiny crowd appreciate greatly." - RAVE MAGAZINE With their third studio album David Comes To L...

The Frontier Touring Company are rapt to confirm Foo Fighters' nationwide stadium tour this summer with special guests Tenacious D will now feature additional support - in the form of hardcore punk ensemble Fucked Up.

The Canadian band have been tearing up stages all around the globe for nearly a decade and their live shows are known to explode with pure, unadulterated mayhem, as affirmed by media who have witnessed their incomparable live experience:

"It's easy to see why Fucked Up's singer, Damian "Pink Eyes" Abraham, has become as close to a superstar as a punk can without joining Green Day." - GUARDIAN.CO.UK

"While their singer creates the spectacle, the five other players in Fucked Up are onstage showing off the band's impressive tightness...Fucked Up have evolved from a hardcore punk band in every aspect except ethos; the band's set is a high-mark of intensity and energy that the tiny crowd appreciate greatly." - RAVE MAGAZINE

With their third studio album David Comes To Life (out now through Matador), Fucked Up have forayed into rock opera territory and their efforts see them heavily rewarded with critical acclaim:

"Abraham still retains his scorched-earth bark. He's been finding ways to broaden his voice's impact, and it's never sounded better than it does here...David Comes to Life is absolutely worth the commitment, a convincing demonstration of what can happen when a band works without limitations." - PITCHFORK.COM

"Is this heavy or light? Punk or pop? Such questions are immaterial; on paper Fucked Up are a mess of contradictions but their music is downright fascinating. And it sounds incredible, too...A startlingly talented punk rock band." - NME.COM

Foo Fighters, Tenacious D and Fucked Up: This is the tour you have been waiting for and as both fans and booming ticket sales can attest... It is undoubtedly the hottest tour of the year.
