FUEL
INVITED TO ‘ JUST PUSH PLAY’ WITH AEROSMITH
Red-hot FUEL have been invited to tour with Aerosmith on a four-month major amphitheatre trek kicking off June 6 in Hartford, CT. Aerosmith’s “Just Push Play” North American tour will encompass 47 cities across the United States and Canada and last through September. Tickets for the first set of dates go on sale Saturday, April 21. FUEL first toured with Aerosmith in 1998 in America.
This news comes as FUEL have scored their second consecutive platinum album SOMETHING LIKE HUMAN (Epic Records), which is building even more momentum via the Top 5 Billboard Modern Rock smash “Innocent.” FUEL, known for their emotionally-charged hard driving songs, have become a fixture in the upper reaches of the chart, as the album’s first single “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” spent three consecutive months at #1 and remains lodged in the Top 15. Next, FUEL–singer/guitarist BRETT SCALLIONS, guitaristCARL BELL, bassist JEFF ABERCROMBIE and drummer KEVIN MILLER–will headline a series of college dates across the northeast, beginning April 25 with a hometown date at Millersville University in Pennsylvania. FUEL will follow up these shows with a string of festivals, including Atlanta’s prestigious Music Midtown Festival and Chicago’s Q101 Jamboree, before joining forces with Aerosmith.
