VAMPS to Release New Album and Tour the USA

Hard rock duo VAMPS have announced that they will be returning to the US as a guest alongside STARSET on I Prevail's upcoming US tour in May. UK newcomers As Lions will also join select dates with opener Cover Your Tracks, rounding out the tour line up. The full list of tour dates can be found under the schedule further down the page.

VAMPS vocalist HYDE states, "Playing with some of the most exciting rock bands out there, I Prevail and STARSET, is an honor and we’re very much looking forward to this tour. We had a great North American tour last Fall but time was limited so we’re thrilled to come back this spring and hit more cities.”

VAMPS guitarist K.A.Z. adds, “We can’t wait to see all of our loyal US fans and make new ones. Every time we’ve come to the United States we’ve received a tremendously warm welcome so we’re stoked to play some brand new songs from our forthcoming album to all of you for the first time. See you at the shows!"
