Good Charlotte, Four Year Strong and Framing Hanley to play Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour 2011

Kerrang! are proud to announce that, for a SIXTH year, the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour will once again be hitting the road in February 2011, making its way around 12 cities in the UK and Ireland.

Following the phenomenal success of this year's tour, Kerrang! have once again put together the must-see live line-up of the year. 2011's Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour brings fans a combination of top level pop-punk with headliners Good Charlotte, melodic hardcore from Massachusetts gang Four Year Strong and pop-rock from rising Nashville-based K! Award nominees Framing Hanley.

Kicking off in Dublin on 4 February at Dublin Academy, the tour will then make its way around the UK, culminating in a very special London show at The Roundhouse on 18 February.

Tickets go on pre-sale at Aloud.com from 15 September and general on-sale from 9am on 17 September.

"After months of planning, we are really excited to confirm that Good Charlotte, Four Year Strong and Framing Hanley will be playing the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink Tour 2011," says Kerrang! Editor Nichola Browne. "Now in its sixth year, the Kerrang! Tour has gone from strength to strength and next year is no exception! February really can't come quick enough!"

Headlining the 2011 tour will be California-based pop-punks Good Charlotte. Their much anticipated fifth album Cardiology is set for release in November this year. After plans to release in 2009, Good Charlotte announced earlier this year that after having already finished the album that they were heading back into the studio to record it with a new producer Don Gilmore, who produced their first and fourth records. The first single 'Like It's Her Birthday' is out in October, but the video has already received more than 100,000 views on YouTube. After a decade-long career, Good Charlotte have built up a strong and loyal fan base, and have continued to be at the top of their game. Their recent Sonisphere UK performance proved that they are not going anywhere - 2011 is set to be another huge year for these guys.

"This is really exciting for us," says Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden. "Kerrang! have always been a big supporter of our band and it's something we don't take for granted. This is the first time we've done anything like this, especially in the UK, and I think it's long overdue. It's going to be like one long party! The bill is so strong – people are going to get their money's worth!"
