    Kerrang! have unveiled the lineup and ticket details for their annual UK jaunt, taking place in February 2012.

    The tour will be co-headlined by New Found Glory and Sum 41, while Letlive and While She Sleeps joining the line-up as support acts.

    American rockers New Found Glory will release their seventh studio LP, 'Radiosurgery' next month. The pop-punk five-piece will release the follow-up to their 2009 album ‘Not Without A Fight’ on Monday October 3rd, and this tour will give fans a rare chance to catch the band live in the UK performing tracks from 'Radiosurgery'. New Found Glory performed at the 2011 Reading & Leeds Festivals this year, also selling out three low-key headlining shows prior to their festival appearances.

    After a four-year break from the studio, Sum 41 crashed back onto the scene with 'Screaming Bloody Murder' last year. The more personal direction taken by frontman Deryck Whibley since his divorce from pop rock starlet Avril Lavigne has produced some of the Ontario pop punks’ most powerful material to date, which easily sits alongside classic anthems like 'In Too Deep', 'Motivation', 'Still Waiting' and 'Fat Lip'.

    Progressive hardcore quintet letlive. are one of the bands to watch in 2012. Off the back of the critical acclaim of their album 'Fake History', the Los Angeles quintet are steadily earning a reputation as one of the best live bands in the world right now. Frontman Jason Aalon Butler was recently voted number one in a list of Kerrang!’s top 50 greatest rock stars in the world today – catch them live to see why.

    Opening each night are Sheffield post-hardcore five-piece While She Sleeps. Fresh from a headline tour with support from Bury Tomorrow and Feed The Rhino, this Steel City quintet are ones to watch. Their mini-album, 'The North Stands For Nothing', boasts eight pulverising reasons why they’re an exciting addition to the bill.

    Kerrang! Tour Sponsored by Relentless Energy Drink tour dates for February 2012 are as follows:

    Sunday Feb 5th - Dublin Academy
    Tuesday Feb 7th - Southampton Guildhall
    Wednesday Feb 8th - Norwich U.E.A.
    Friday Feb 10th - Bristol O2 Academy
    Saturday Feb 11th - Cardiff The Great Hall
    Sunday Feb 12th - Newcastle O2 Academy
    Monday Feb 13th - Glasgow O2 ABC
    Wednesday Feb 15th - Manchester Academy
    Thursday Feb 16th - Birmingham O2 Academy
    Friday Feb 17th - London Roundhouse

    Wish they would just change the venue for Tripod instead of the Academy

    I'd think it'll sell fairly fast, there's usually a second date announced though.

    Yea a lot of my friends seem to be interested in this for the 1st time ha. Think its the fact Sum 41 are on the tour , if they add a second night i hope its a Saturday (since the K Tour attracts a younger crowd) plus i can go drinking after :D:D

    Purchased my ticket :D

    Mentioned it to some folk and got "No Way? Sum 41!! I'm there!" so shall be fun, especially as taking some younger siblings.

    I'd probably even get a second ticket if it was announced for the Sat, for the fun times of gigging and going out, minus younger siblings ;)

    Purchased my ticket too.

    Don't listen to Sum 41 as much as I would have in around 2002 - 2003 but would love to see them live. Quite the fan of NFG - Only really discovered them about a year or more ago.

    Got up at 9am to buy tickets :D

    €26 for Sum 41 and NFG is the best value ticket ever! Have been waiting years to see Sum 41. Also I really like the Academy as a gig venue, it'll be great to see them on such a small stage!

    20 euro for a ticket to the Revival Tour last week was much better value.:D

    Will probably pop along to this, not a fan of Sum 41, but like NFG.

    Just about beats it yeah, you win :P. But Sum 41 and NFG must both pocket waaay more than that normally, they'd probably cost that much on their own sure!. €13 for each one? Grand!

    The day this concert is on, 4th February, will be 9 years to the day since Sum 41 last played in Dublin. Last time, they were in the Point in 2003.

    Best night of my life, cause i met the love of my life at that gig.

    Absolutly cannot wait for this! :-):p
