"We have an extremely loyal travel-to-the-end-of-the-world diehard fanbase, so our shows are always packed and a blast. With that said, this current run turned out to be the most-attended, most-successful tour we have done to date,” explains Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory. “Those cities we couldn’t fit into this summer run--worry not--we heard you all! We’re extending this tour all the way through the fall, so we will see you soon."
“We’ve been having a blast on this Summer tour with Five Finger Death Punch,” adds Breaking Benjamin lead vocalist Benjamin Burnley. “The reactions to this tour from both of our fanbases have been huge, so it only made sense to keep the fun going this Fall. We’re happy to have a chance to play more songs from EMBER while reminding the World that Rock’s Not Dead. See you there!”
"The summer tour has been incredible; the sales, performances, and fan reactions have gone above and beyond our wildest dreams!” explains Larry Frank, COO of Frank Productions. “We had to bring this tour back to arenas in the fall to make sure every fan gets to experience one of the best shows of their life.”
Fans purchasing a ticket to the tour are also supporting two charities that are close to the co-headliner’s hearts as they are donating a portion of every ticket sold to two charity organizations. Five Finger Death Punch has chosen C.O.P.S - Concerns Of Police Survivors, an organization whose mission is rebuilding shattered lives of survivors and co-workers affected by line of duty deaths, through partnerships with law enforcement and the community. On Saturday, July 21 in Boise, ID, the Boise Police Department presented Five Finger Death Punch with an award for their continued financial and emotional support. Watch the video and photos of the presentation below:
Breaking Benjamin has chosen Prevent Child Abuse America to help counteract the abuse and neglect of our nation’s children by promoting services that improve child well-being and developing programs that help to prevent all types of abuse and neglect. Watch the clip that Dr. Bart Klika of Prevent Child Abuse America sent to thank Breaking Benjamin below:
