On the 10th July 2012 – Rock radio giants, Shinedown were thrilled to announce a 9-date UK tour for this winter including a local date at Southampton Guildhall on 24th October.
The Jacksonville, FL-based four-piece unleashed their Rob Cavallo-produced fourth studio album, “Amaryllis” earlier this year, playing a handful of album launch dates here, including a packed-to-the-rafters London Roundhouse. A triumphant slot at this year’s Download Festival followed, and now comes your chance to catch the band on a major headline run, commencing this October.
Shinedown bagged a ton of airplay for their “Bully” single, which hit the airwaves this Spring.
