The Kerrang! Relentless Energy Tour hits Ireland in January

Back for a fifth year, the Kerrang! Tour will bring once again some of the hottest young bands in rock to Ireland for one night only in January.

Headlining the tour is All Time Low, who will be coming back to Europe after a two month long US tour. Gaining exposure through MTV and TRL, this band has fast become one of the hottest pop punk bands in the US and the UK. They worked alongside Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus on their album Nothing Personal, which went into the Billboard Charts at number 4 selling over 63,000 copies.

Welsh six-piece The Blackout have toured relentlessly around the world, with stints on Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos. They released their storming second album The Best In Town in May 2009 and have been non-stop since.

With their very first appearance being at the Download festival in Donnigton, Young Guns have begun to make quite the impact in rock circles over the last year. Since the release of their EP Mirrors this London based quintet have been taking the rock world by storm, winning them various fans amongst the critics.

My Passion are four young men with a fearless, rebellious intention, DIY ethics and a genre-smashing electronic induced metallic punk sound. Word quickly spread as they took their energetic show on the road, racking up almost 500 shows at the last count.

New Kerrang! Editor Nichola Browne has said, "What a way to celebrate the fifth year of the Kerrang! Tour. We couldn’t be more excited about this bill - it’s fresh, vibrant, youthful and dynamic, and together, these four bands will guarantee that 2009 goes off with a bang! Miss it and you really will miss out. See you at the front!”
