One of the hardest working, non-stop touring bands within the reggae-rock circuit is Aberdeen, Maryland’s very own, Ballyhoo! After headlining their own tour, taking the summer grind on the Vans Warped Tour and opening up for Tribal Seeds this fall, now Ballyhoo! is hitting to the road again for their own headlining shows!
Ballyhoo! has been one band that has not shied away from touring the east coast region following hurricane Sandy. Days after the storm, Ballyhoo! was on the road in some of the most severely hit regions, touring through New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. For now, Ballyhoo! looks to have smooth sailing all the way down the coast to Florida, as their tour kicks-off in Fayetteville, North Carolina on November 29th.
From the start of the tour all the way through New Years Eve, Ballyhoo! will be performing in a city near you. Both coasts will have opportunities to see the Aberdeen rockers live and in person. Looking beyond 2012, Ballyhoo! has already lined up a hefty amount of dates in the spring time, as they were added to the 3rd edition of 311’s Caribbean Cruise. Following the musical journey to the Bahamas, Ballyhoo! will make their first ever appearance at the California Roots Music & Arts Festival in 2013 over Memorial Day weekend.
Along with numerous shows in the near future, Ballyhoo! is also offering their biggest fans a great deal on their next album. One of the most notable things is that anyone who buys the “Hardcore Hooligan Package” will get their face in a collage inside the album artwork. There will only be 1000 prints of the special deluxe edition with your face inside, as well as some other great bonuses! Get all the details HERE!.
There are plenty of positive happenings within and around the Ballyhoo! camp. New music is on the horizon and the shows continue to grow for Ballyhoo! Check out the details below to find a concert near you!
