Bullet For My Valentine Celebrate Their Gravity Release With A New Tour & Video “Over It”
BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE has announced a Fall 2018 U.S. tour in support of their anticipated record Gravity. All dates, including the band’s current U.S. headline and festival appearances, are posted here at the bottom.
The Fall “Gravity” tour jumpstarts in September 13 in Kansas City and wraps up on October 16 in Las Vegas.
Apparently, in time, a list of special guests will be made as well!
Tickets will go on sale on Friday, May 4, at 10 am local time. Each ticket bought online for any of the U.S. dates on Gravity tour will come with a copy of Bullet For My Valentine’s new album, Gravity. Go HERE for additional details.
The band also dropped their newest video for the new single “Over It.”
Pre-order Gravity HERE. Fans who pre-order the record will get an instant download of an unreleased album track, “Piece of Me,” along with “OverIt.”
Gravity, out June 29, is the bands first album under the Search and Destroy/ Spinefarm Records umbrella, and aptly sees the band reworking their fate. The guys have stretched their creative talents like balancing film-score electronica and icy synths in their own brand of hard rock.
BFMV will perform second headline billing on the Friday of Download (UK) Festival – their first home-turf festival appearance in five years. The band will then headline European summer festivals and venues before traveling to Japan for the Summersonic event.

The one and only LA-based nerd rapper MC Chris recently announced that he is setting sail with his new 2018 North American Spring Tour with the perfect supporting act, Bitforce!. If you have no clue who MC Chris is, you need to get caught up, son! The nerdcore rapping pioneer was one of the first rappers ever to incorporate nerd life into his rhymes. I have never seen him perform live, but I can only imagine that his stage show is filled with fun and hilarious antics.
Mc Chris got his start acting, producing, writing, songwriting and being the lead animator for programs on Adult Swim like Sealab 2021, The Brak Show, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He has released an incredible seventeen albums and has toured the U.S. numerous times and collaborated with famous rappers and musicians like Talib Kweli, Andrew WK, Cee-Lo, Childish Gambino, and one of my personal favorites, Gwar.
Most recently, MC Chris appeared on a punk compilation album devoted to Dr. Demento and made a cameo on Gwar’s newest album The Blood of Gods.
His music is everywhere and can be found on many TV shows, and movies from Comedy Central’s Broad City and Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance? To Zak and Miri Make a Porno and Jay and Silent Bob’s Super Groovy Cartoon Movie.
Check out the Texas natives Bitforce while you are at it:
