The New York-based industrial-techno-punks will return to the UK for the 15-date Kerrang! Tour alongside Brit heavyweights Bring Me The Horizon, Kerrang! Award winners Black Tide and fast-rising Northern Irish trio In Case Of Fire.
"We feel good!" MSI frontman Jimmy Urine tells Kerrang!. "Kerrang! and Mindless Self Indulgence will be together again, like Smokey and the Bandit or like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers! We really like that it's such an eclectic bill. I like it when there's a lot going on and people try to mix it up, that's my favorite thing.
"And the food!" the singer laughs. "We're coming for the food! Oh man, I want me some bangers and mash and little Marmite sandwich! I dunno why Kerrang! have entrusted us with running the ship, though? The lunatics have taken over the asylum!"
"We're psyched to play this tour," says Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes. "We're going to bring a bit of metal to the shows. It'll be fun to see how kids react and how we go down with our new material. Hopefully some kids will dig it, and maybe we'll even win over some new fans!"
Winners of this year's Kerrang! Award for Best International Newcomers, Floridian teens Black Tide are preparing to cause havoc across the country. "We're super excited to be coming back to the UK to do the Kerrang! Tour," says bassist Zakk Sandler. "England is always so good to us and our fans there are amazing. After playing Reading and Leeds and the amazing experience at the Kerrang! Awards, we can't wait to come back and play!"
