Platinum-selling Rock band Saving Abel will headline the inaugural “CLASS OF 2009” TOUR, with Grammy Nominated Red, Pop Evil and Taddy Porter along for the ride. The excursion will get underway on October 27th in San Antonio, TX and continue until the end of the year. The concept behind this new annual tour is to bring together rock artists who have achieved substantial TOP TEN hits at radio in the current calendar year. The concept behind this new annual tour is to bring together rock artists who have achieved substantial TOP TEN hits at radio in the current calendar year. Each year, an unsigned band, a.k.a. “The Freshman,” will be selected to open the show for the full tour, providing an opportunity that is nothing short of a launching pad. Each of the acts on the inaugural run outside of Taddy Porter (this year’s “Freshman”) is riding major airplay at radio, and could be touring as a headliner on their own.
RED is offering a very cool “ACOUSTIC EXPERIENCE” offer during the CLASS OF 2009 TOUR, which starts 10/27 in San Antonio. To learn more about this limited, special offer, where you can get an autographed copy of Innocence & Instinct, a t-shirt and gain access to RED’s tour bus to hear the band perform an acoustic song, go here: www.vulcanmarketinggroup.com/acoustic-exp/red/red.html
