Grammy-nominated British rock band BRING ME THE HORIZON has announced its spring "Second Base" tour. The trek, which follows the group's North American "First Love" headline run, includes eleven headline shows and multiple festival appearances. Special guest SCARLXRD will appear on all dates. The "Second Base" tour will kick off May 8 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and make stops in Philadelphia, Toronto and more before wrapping May 18 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Citi is the official presale credit card for the tour. As such, Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets for the newly announced dates beginning Wednesday, February 27 at 10:00 a.m. local time until Thursday, February 28 at 10:00 p.m. local time through Citi's Private Pass program. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, March 1 at 10:00am local time at LiveNation.com. BRING ME THE HORIZON's live show features a blistering mix of familiar favorites and new tracks from "Amo" (Columbia), which came out in January. "Second Base" tour dates: May 05 - Jacksonville, FL - Welcome To Rockville May 07 - Pittsburgh, PA - Stage AE May 08 - Milwaukee, WI - Eagles Ballroom May 10 - Philadelphia, PA - The Met Philadelphia May 11 - Baltimore, MD - MECU Pavilion May 12 - Rockingham, NC - Rockingham May 14 - St. Louis, MO - The Pageant May 15 - Indianapolis, IN - Egyptian Room at Old National Centre May 17 - Toronto, ON - RBC Echo Beach May 18 - Grand Rapids, MI - 20 Monroe Live May 19 - Columbus, OH - Sonic Temple Last month, BRING ME THE HORIZON canceled the last two shows of its U.S. tour due to singer Oli Sykes's "ruptured right vocal cord." BRING ME THE HORIZON scored its first No. 1 album in the U.K. with "Amo". The disc had combined first-week units of 27,000, with 61% of its sales on CD or vinyl. The band's previous best album chart showing was No. 2 with 2015's "That's The Spirit". The record failed to crack the Billboard 200 album chart's Top 10 however, settling for a No. 14 debut with sales in North America of just over 26,000 units — close to the U.K. tally. Around 16,000 of those were physical copies. "Amo" was released on January 25 via Columbia Records. The band spent last summer writing and recording in Los Angeles, with Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish handling production.
