Monster Energy and Idol Roc Entertainment are proud to announce that NOTHING MORE will be headlining the Rock leg of the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour this fall with special guests MARMOZETS, TURBOWOLF and SEPARATIONS as support. The tour kicks off on September 14th at Trees in Dallas, Texas and closes out in Little Rock, Arkansas on October 14th at Juanita’s. VIP tickets/packages will go on sale tomorrow, July 15, 2015 at 12:00PM EST on www.ticketspin.com and tickets go on sale to the public Friday, July 17, 2015 at 10:00AM local time.

Signing to Eleven Seven Music in 2014, NOTHING MORE released their self-titled album that same year selling 61,500 units fueled by three hit singles, “This is the Time (Ballast)”, “Mr. MTV” and “Jenny”, each garnering Top 10 spots on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs Chart. Fresh off a wildly successful 2014, the band was named “Game Changers” of 2015 by Artist Direct, and “Best International Newcomers” of 2015 by Kerrang! Magazine. Kerrang! also named vocalist Jonny Hawkins among their 50 Greatest Frontmen In Rock and NOTHING MORE as one of the 20 Hottest Bands In Rock Right Now. Leveraging their recent success as a means to help people, NOTHING MORE developed a mental health initiative called #iknowJenny providing resources and support to those struggling with mental illness.

“This tour is going to be insane! Thanks to Monster Energy we are going to be able to make this the coolest tour of the year and bring three really unique bands together on one stage,” Jonny Hawkins, lead singer of NOTHING MORE explained. “MARMOZETS, who are from the UK, absolutely kill it live, and TURBOWOLF has style oozing out of every note. With all three of us on one stage we are going to create one of the most dynamic and interesting tours of the year.”

Fresh off winning “Best Album” at the 2015 Kerrang! Awards for their debut LP The Weird And Wonderful Marmozets, the explosive family quintet from Yorkshire, England known as MARMOZETS are poised to make their return to the states this fall. Picked by Rolling Stone as one of “10 New Artists You Need To Know Now,” MARMOZETS have been on a tear earning top honors on multiple 2014 year end lists for their breakout LP. The acclaimed album landed at #5 Alternative Press’ “10 essential albums of 2014” list and at #8 on Metal Hammer’s “2014 Critics Choice” list, with Big Cheese naming The Weird And Wonderful Marmozets their #1 album of 2014. MARMOZETS, who have received critical praise and support from BBC Radio 1, are also set to perform on the main stages of the prestigious Reading & Leeds Festivals set for later this summer.

“Not only is NOTHING MORE extremely talented, but they are passionate about going against the grain and connecting personally with their fans which is something we really respect about them. In addition having both MARMOZETS and TURBOWOLF on support, this tour should be an incredible experience for rock fans looking to discover what’s next,” tour owner Steve Glazer said of the bands. “This has also been a great year for the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour brand, from launching both our first event at SXSW and adding a Country genre to our roster, we are excited to continue our support of music.”
