Monster Energy have announced the début UK Carnival Of Madness tour! The 8-date arena run will be hitting our shores in January and February next year, with Black Stone Cherry, Shinedown, Halestorm and Highly Suspect set to perform on the bill.

“We are beyond excited and honoured to return to the UK to headline the UK’s first ever Carnival Of Madness Tour!” enthuse Black Stone Cherry. “The UK is a very special place for us, and to be able to return in this way after our first arena tour in 2014 is a testament to where our fans have taken us. We don’t take it for granted!”

Meanwhile, Shinedown frontman Brent Smith says: “A huge hello to all our fans in the UK! We’re excited to be coming back as part of Carnival of Madness UK 2016. It’s a tour near and dear to our hearts in the US, and we CAN’T WAIT to share the stage with our close mates from Black Stone Cherry, Halestorm, and Highly Suspect! It’s going to be one hell of a show!”

“The Carnival Of Madness tours have always been so much more than just a show,” adds Halestorm singer Lzzy Hale. “It’s an outlet for creativity and energy, something both bands and fans can do together! We’ve enjoyed being a part of this ride for many years, and are thrilled to be coming over alongside our friends in Shinedown, Highly Suspect, and Black Stone Cherry. Carnival… will continue raising the bar in 2016 in the UK! Let’s make “rock show” a verb!”
