Hard rock’s greatest asset of recent years, Alter Bridge, is hitting the road stateside one more time in 2014. The band will be heading out on a headline run this October in support of their latest album, Fortress.

ArtistDirect exclaimed about the band’s live show, “Alter Bridge deserves to be one of the biggest bands in North America… It’s time for a revolution over here. It’s time for Alter Bridge to rule…” The headline tour kicks off October 7th in Louisville and runs through October 26th where it wraps up in Los Angeles with more dates possibly to be added during the tour. Alter Bridge will be making stops in Huntington, St. Louis, Seattle and San Francisco to name a few. California Breed has been tapped to open the entire tour with Like A Storm and The Cringe alternating slots depending on the market. Tickets for the tour are on-sale now and fans can here for direct buy links to each show. See tour itinerary below
Alter Bridge will also be making a stop at the upcoming Louder Than Life Festival on October 4th before their headline tour kicks off. The festival is taking place in Louisville, KY and Alter Bridge will be playing alongside the likes of Judas Priest, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Stone Temple Pilots.

The band recently released a box set to coincide with the anniversary of their first album, One Day Remains. AB X contains 27 discs including all available footage and recordings from various periods throughout the band’s career including Live from Wembley, Download Festival 2005 & 2011 as well as every studio album the band has recorded.

LOVE ALTER BRIDGE!! They are a very underrated band here in the US, but are quite popular in Europe. Fortress is a kick ass record! Very heavy, but still quite melodic. They should be much bigger band in the US than they are. All of their records are pretty awesome!
I think Slash should thank them for finding Myles Kennedy.
You do realize that Myles was asked to audition for Velvet Revolver before Alter Bridge existed, no? Last time I checked Slash was in VR
I did not know that.
If I was going to purchase one of there CDs for my first intro which should I get?
Buy all four studio albums along with the two live albums and listen to them in order of release. It’s amazing not only that the first album is great but that they keep getting better & better with each release and tour!!!
Got my tickets for the san Francisco show,looking forward to it bigtime. I think alter bridge should be opening up for Glenn Hughes though in my opinion. 🙁
UGH! Another NY-only show….way out in Huntington. When does the madness end?? That place is a pain in the ass to go to. What’s up with NY promoters the past two years? This is getting old. That theater (while nice) is far away and parking sucks. Another show I’ll skip. Bummer.
