Fans can look forward to packed arenas at the not-to-be-missed rock show of Fall 2019 with direct support from Canadian rockers THREE DAYS GRACE. Since 2003, the band has staked a spot amongst the hard rock vanguard, quietly breaking records, toppling charts, moving millions of units worldwide, and making history by holding the all-time record for “most #1 singles at Active Rock Radio ever” with 14. The Ontario, Canada quartet—Matt Walst [lead vocals], Barry Stock [lead guitar], Brad Walst [bass], and Neil Sanderson [drums, percussion, keyboards, programming]—continue to blaze that trail on their sixth full-length album, the aptly titled Outsider [RCA Records].
Says FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH guitarist Zoltan Bathory about the lineup of the tour: “People always say ‘Rock will never die,’ but for that to be actually true it’s important to have successful breakout bands that create a healthy scene. A scene that can sustain everything from arena headliners to the experimental and the underground. We always understood this so we have been actively curating and giving a platform to bands we think are great and have a chance to make it to the next level – so we took out NOTHING MORE who got two number one hits and got nominated for multiple GRAMMYs, thenFROM ASHES TO NEW who ended up landing several Top 10 singles. Next we introduced BAD WOLVES who are now doing amazing and have three, #1 hit singles. On this upcoming tour we are bringing FIRE FROM THE GODS who we think will be another important band for the future of this genre. As for FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH the band is better than ever, firing on all cylinders so we are really looking forward to this tour and our next chapter.”
Global chart-toppers Bad Wolves are coming fresh off their third #1 single in a row with “Remember When” which tells the haunting story of lead singer Tommy Vext and his incarcerated twin brother. Bad Wolves are currently working on their sophomore album to Disobey (due out this Fall) after making a name for themselves with their multi-platinum hit single “Zombie” in 2018 and winning over the hearts of rock fans everywhere around the globe with their explosive live show. Fans will get a first taste of the new album when the band drops their first new track “I’ll be there” this Friday, July 26 which will be available for streaming and download on all digital platforms.
Newly signed to Eleven Seven Music, up-and-coming rockers FIRE FROM THE GODS will make their arena debut on the tour. Hand-picked by 5FDP, they will kick off the tour in conjunction with the release of their sophomore album, American Sun available for pre-order this Friday, July 26 HERE. Check out a clip from their first single, “Truth To The Weak (Not Built To Collapse),” HERE.
5FDP will donate a portion from every ticket sold on the tour to the GARY SINISE FOUNDATION which honors America’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families and those in need. This marks a continuation of the relationship 5FDP started with the foundation when it was named beneficiary of the proceeds from their collaboration hit single “Blue On Black” which has been dominating the Rock radio charts this Summer, holding the #1 spot for four consecutive weeks. It features the legendary Brian May, as well as two of the biggest names in country and blues rock, Brantley Gilbert and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Titans in each of their respective genres, the artists came together to merge country and mainstream rock to re-create the classic song (originally recorded and co-written by SHEPHERD) and to take Country Rock to the next level. “Blue On Black” is now one of the Top 10-Selling Rock Songs of 2019, along with Queen, Imagine Dragons and Panic At The Disco. The song was mixed by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain, Disturbed) and is available HERE. Check out the official music video.
In 2019, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH also surpassed 3 billion streams worldwide and the multi-platinum group continues to shatter records across the board. See all show dates below.

About Fire From The Gods
For some artists making music isn’t a choice, it’s fueled by something larger than themselves. This is undoubtedly true of Fire From The Gods whose first full-length album on Eleven Seven Music, American Sun, sees the band as the voice of unity, inciting the importance of social consciousness in crucial times. “With this record what we’re trying to drive home is that our differences and where we are from doesn’t need to define who we are moving forward,” Channer explains. “I’m telling the story from my perspective, but it’s a story that people from all walks of life can relate to in the sense that we all face the same challenges… and the only way to conquer them is if we face them together.”
