Black Veil Brides have announced a second North American leg of the “Vindicatour,” covering August and September. The 16-city run opens August 27 in Phoenix and closes September 27 in Montclair, N.J. Caskets, Archers, and Holy Wars support through September 8; Autumn Kings take over for the final stretch (Sep. 16–Sep. 27). General on-sale begins May 15 at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour supports Vindicate, the band’s seventh studio album, out May 8 via Spinefarm — which has had a strong first week. Kerrang! declared Black Veil Brides have “never sounded better.” The track “Woe & Pain” landed in the WrestleMania 42 hype package for Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton, and “Sorrow” showed up during a UFC Fight Night broadcast. Not bad for five days of existence.
The album was preceded by a run of singles: “Bleeders,” “Hallelujah,” “Certainty,” “Vindicate,” “Revenger” (featuring Machine Head‘s Robb Flynn), and “Cut” (featuring Lilith Czar). Their previous LP, The Phantom Tomorrow, hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart, and the single “Bleeders” topped the Active Rock radio chart.
The band — vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma — also has festival slots at Rocklahoma (Sep. 5) and Louder Than Life (Sep. 20), plus the ongoing first Vindicatour leg running through May.
