The Acacia Strain Heading Down Under

09/09/2009
. (PR) Western Massachusetts', The Acacia Strain have announced their first Australian headlining tour, to take place this November. Support will come from Melbourne's The Red Shore. The band last toured Australia in December 2008 with Parkway Drive.

Vocalist Vincent Bennett had this to say about their imminent return to Australia: "Can't wait to get back to Australia! I'm considering calling it a second home. Hope everyone is ready for us and The Red Shore to shake some s*** up! See ya in November!"

The Acacia Strain are also supporting August Burns Red in the United States in September and October. The band released their fourth full length, "Continent," last year, on Prosthetic Records.
