High voltage Swedish rockers TRUCKFIGHTERS have announced a spring U.S. headlining tour in support of their celebrated new album Universe. The red hot band has made quite a bang with the new LP, which has been hailed as "absolutely stellar", "one of the best rock albums in years" and "high action rock that doesn't skimp on melody or attitude" and its just-completed U.S. headlining tour, a barnstorming trek that included multiple breakout performances as part of SXSW, and saw TRUCKFIGHTERS hailed as the "cat's pajamas" and touted as one of the "Best of SXSW 2014." Wasting no momentum, TRUCKFIGHTERS have just announced a May U.S. headlining tour set to kick off on May 3 at the the Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion Festival (w/ Motörhead, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, etc.).
The TRUCKFIGHTERS tour will run through May 24 and will include high profile appearances as part of the Rock on the Range Festival (w/ Mastodon, Slayer, Guns 'N' Roses, etc.), the Rocklahoma Festival (w/ Deftones, Down, Scorpion Child, etc.) and the River City Rock Fest w/ Black Label Society, Deftones, Kyng, etc.). The first string of live dates have just been announced with more expected to follow.
