News : PAIN Australian tour saved by Hardline Media and Overdrive Touring

By on March 27, 2018

Since the collapse of Stag Music Touring, confusion has lingered over the demise of the upcoming PAIN tour. Peter Tagtgren, the mastermind behind Swedish metal band Hypocrisy and the second half of metal supergroup Lindemann (the other half being Till Lindemann of Rammstein) is set to tour Australia for the first time ever this May with his long-standing metal band, PAIN.

Thanks to Hardline Media and Overdrive Touring, who recently formed a working relationship with each other have taken on the tour and will commence with all dates on the tour remaining the same and all tickets previously purchased valid for the upcoming shows.

Hardline Media chief Doug Dalton says of the tour:

“Hardline Media are very proud to announce that we are taking over the Pain tour due to unfortunate circumstances surrounding Stag Touring. We are also very happy to have Overdrive Touring joining in, two (metal)heads are better than one. Will be an honor to have the legend Peter Tägtgren here in Oz for the first time. See you at the shows!!!!”

Overdrive Touring’s Bailey Graham comments:

“We’re super excited to be teaming up with the incredible Hardline Media team to ensure this once-in-a-lifetime tour goes ahead! With the unfortunate events surrounding Stag Music Touring in recent months, I think I speak for all involved at Overdrive Touring when I say that we’re looking forward to making sure PAIN make it down to Australia for the very first time and finally providing fans with a long-overdue night of industrial metal brilliance!”

Former Tour Manager of Stag Music Touring, Buzz Burnsen says:

“Though Stag Music Touring is now defunct at the hands of our former boss I am proud I never gave up and am able to hand over the reigns to Hardline & Overdrive. This tour is in great hands and I couldn’t be more thankful’’
