Incubus Kicks Off Tour on Apri

- advertisement -

Today, Honda announced that Civic Tour will hit the road again on April 11 with multi-platinum rockers Incubus in the driver seat. On the heels of the resounding success of the inaugural Civic Tour in 2001 (with two separate legs featuring blink-182 in major markets and Everclear in secondary markets playing to intimate packed houses), the expanded Civic Tour 2002 will feature Southern California rockers Incubus for a 50-date arena tour across the U.S. An exclusive online ticket pre-sale will launch February 16th at civictour.com.

“The band is really excited to be involved with Honda and the Civic Tour because it gives us a chance to play much bigger venues at a ticket price that we think is very reasonable,” said Dirk Lance of Incubus. “On top of that, we’re able to offer our fans the chance to win a new Civic SI that’s been customized by the band at a price that seems about as good as you can get! God knows it’s a better version of the Hondas that we first owned.”

Civictour.com will also host the exclusive “Civic Tour Presents Incubus Morning View” ticket online pre-sale beginning February 16 at 10am ET through February 22 at 11:59pm ET, giving fans who log on the opportunity to buy the best tickets available before they go on sale to the general public. In addition to the unique giveaway and ticket pre-sale, beginning March 11th fans can check out civictour.com for Incubus information, including the tour schedule, band scrapbook, exclusive streaming audio and video, and more TBA. Through special radio promotions, Civic Tour will also give fans chances to win Civic Tour tickets and to meet the band before the show.

“Last year’s inaugural Civic Tour proved to be the perfect way for Honda to connect with the contemporary youth market, so we’re bringing it back for an expanded effort this year to reach even more music fans,” said Doug Hoffman, national advertising manager at American Honda. “Honda expects the partnership with Incubus to be a huge success and is delighted to bring them closer to their fans across the country through live performances and customized Civic SI’s.”

Civic Tour is a unique promotion where music fans can catch one of their favorite acts and have a chance at winning new customized Honda Civic SI’s designed and autographed by Incubus. Created and produced by marketingfactoryinc, Civic Tour is bringing the new Civic SI closer to youthful, contemporary drivers, while offering music fans more from their favorite bands. Incubus will custom-design and autograph six all new Honda Civic SI’s, which will tour the country on display at their concerts. One of the Incubus SI’s will be awarded to a lucky fan through a national online promotion at the official we site, civictour.com, and the other five through additional media promotions TBA. When the first Honda Civic SI was introduced in 1986, it rewrote the book on street-performance; the new ’02 SI invites owners to write the latest edition, with Incubus adding a unique artistic touch to a one-of-a-kind SI.
