The band last played this venue in Sydney in 2007 and last played the venue in Melbourne in 2010, both for two shows on each tour. Tickets go on sale next Friday the 14th. Who here from LPLive will be attending?
Oh yeah, and supporting the band at these two new shows will be none other than the almighty Stone Sour!
