Celebrated rock pioneers Ratt and Extreme have teamed up to bring you this summer's most rockin' tour lineup. The tour, which will feature sets from both bands with Ratt closing, kicks off on July 12 in Amarillo, Texas and runs through August 7 in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. It will cross the U.S. and cover 16 markets, with more to be announced soon. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut "Out Of The Cellar", Ratt will be playing the album in its entirety.
Both bands are excited about the double bill. "
Warren DeMartini and Nuno Bettencourt on same stage, same night?? 'Nuff said, we'll see you there!" says
Ratt's
Bobby Blotzer.
Extreme's
Nuno Bettencourt concurs, "
One hot summer night. Two bands fully loaded with musicianship. Mix in one part memorable songwriting. Add nine ounces of passionate performers. Throw in three well-respected guitarists. Add a touch of West Coast raunch and a hint of East Coast funk. And you get yourself a recipe for one night of unforgettable rock and roll."
