News : Black Stone Cherry Joins Steel Panther Tour

By on April 5, 2016

Due to a scheduling conflict, US rockers Black Stone Cherry – who were due to tour in Australia for the first time ever – were made to reschedule their tour to a week earlier than originally planned. However, this same week happens to land on when Steel Panther would be returning to our southern shores. With both of the bands being friends, Steel Panther graciously invited Black Stone Cherry to join them on their tour as the main support slot. So now you get to witness two stellar US rock acts in one night, for the price of one!

In a statement from Black Stone Cherry, they had this to say:

“Due to a scheduling conflict, we’re going to have to move our planned Australian tour dates forward by a week.  In an effort to provide a stellar show for all the great Australian rock fans, and to also not get in each other’s way, our good friends in Steel Panther have invited us to join forces with them on their tour.  All tickets purchased for our original shows will be valid and honoured for the respective city and, as a thank you, that will be at no additional cost to the fans who now get to see 2 great bands.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but look forward to seeing all of our amazing fans at the shows!!”

Those who have already purchased tickets need not fret, however. All tickets already purchased to Black Stone Cherry’s tour will be valid and honoured at each of the respective shows for the new dates. Ticket holders simply need to bring a printed copy of their Black Stone Cherry ticket to the Steel Panther date in the same city and it will be valid. And as promised in the statement above, no additional costs will be made.

Black Stone Cherry will be arriving in Australia fresh off an 8-date UK tour playing to massive crowds at the likes of the Glasgow Hydro to London’s Wembley Arena, before hitting the stage with Steel Panther; who have just performed at Wembley and Download Festivals themselves.

Black Stone Cherry will still be coming down under to celebrate their album Kentucky, the most recent single and video from it being Soul Machine. “This album IS Kentucky,” Robertson says with palpably fierce pride. “Everyone who plays on it is from Kentucky. It’s in their blood just like it’s in ours, and they added so much to the record.”

The band’s many singles and albums have inspired rock radio success in the UK and US, and seen them sell out venues like Wembley Arena in the UK  Their latest album Kentucky continues the trend, scoring great reviews both here in Australia and internationally, with many calling it the band’s best release to date.  Check out track 4 “Soul Machine” from the album below.
