New Found Glory, Sum 41 to co-headline Kerrang! tour

New Found Glory and Sum 41 will embark on a co-headline tour of the UK in 2012.

The bands are to play the upcoming Kerrang! tour, which will last ten dates across the country next February.

The groups will start the shows at Dublin's Academy on February 5 and finish up at Camden's Roundhouse in London on February 17.

Speaking about the tour, Kerrang! editor James McMahon explained: "Everyone at Kerrang! prides themselves on the fact that our tours are always a heap load of fun, but this year's tour really does offer something for all rock fans – you've got punk, you've got pop punk, you've got hardcore, you've got metal.

"It's a reflection of the broad church you'll find in the magazine's pages week in, week out. See you in the pit!"

Also joining New Found Glory and Sum 41 are rising stars letlive. and While She Sleeps.

Tickets will be priced at £20 with additional booking fees and go on sale on September 30 at 9am.
