GWAR, Chimaira Lead - Sounds Of The Underground Tour

Billboard.com reports: The third edition of the Sounds of the Underground tour will feature performances by GWAR, CHIMAIRA, EVERY TIME I DIE, NECRO and JOB FOR A COWBOY, among others.

The 25-city North American trek starts July 6 at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas and wraps Aug. 8 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver.

Confirmed acts include:

GWAR
SHADOWS FALL
CHIMAIRA
EVERY TIME I DIE
NECRO
AMON AMARTH
GOATWHORE
JOB FOR A COWBOY
DARKEST HOUR
THE ACACIA STRAIN
HEAVY HEAVY LOW LOW
THE NUMBER TWELVE LOOKS LIKE YOU
DEVIL WEARS PRADA

GWAR is scheduled to headline on most nights, and additional as-yet-unannounced guest headliners will join the bill on select dates. THIS IS HELL and 2 CENTS will split the tour in half as opening acts.

â€œThere are a few bands that have been on the tour before and a bunch of newcomers,â€ The Agency Groupâ€™s Tim Borrow tells Billboard.com. And as opposed to other heavy metal summer tour packages, SOTU is â€œtrying to be the niche, off-the-radar, less commercialized type of tour,â€ he says.

The Live Nation-produced summer jaunt is visiting 2,000-to 5,000-seat venues, including large ballrooms, cut-down arenas, convention centers and outdoor stage setups. Borrow says this yearâ€™s SOTU is hitting smaller venues than it has in the past. â€œThe last couple of years weâ€™ve done this big parking lot-esque type of tour,â€ he explains. â€œWeâ€™re going to try and have a more controlled atmosphere thatâ€™s a lot less expensive to produce.â€

Ticket presales begin April 25 at a price of under $30, according to Borrow.

Hot Topic is the presenting sponsor of this yearâ€™s SOTU. In late June, the retail chain will carry an exclusive CD/DVD compilation of the summer trek.

I saw this tour in Sayreville,NJ in my opinion the best band was probably Testament, the worst by far was All That Remains, I predict somehow they will eventually fail in the business.

shadows fall is a good band, but why are they on a underground tour, they are not underground

GWAR isnt underground either. neither is Shadows fall or Chimaira or Darkest Hour.
