Prong to tour Australia's east coast for first time ever
US metal favourites Prong will tour Australia for the first time ever this coming November. Founded by singer/guitarist Tommy Victor in 1986, the band has never made it to Australian shores at any point in their 28-year career. But all that is about to change... The band will be hitting east coast shores for a quick-fire four-date run.
Tommy Victor says, “Prong has never been to Australia, in all the years of it's existence. I personally haven't been there with any other band or even on a trip. I've only heard great things about the place. So it's wonderful to have the opportunity to get down there, finally.”
The history of Prong has cast a long shadow - bands like Korn, Slipknot and Nine Inch Nails openly acknowledge their influence.
The band's new album Ruining Lives is the follow-up to the acclaimed 2012 release Carved Into Stone and continues to show the band on an upward trajectory, proving that despite having a long, illustrious career, Prong can still make records that matter and re-invent themselves without negating their roots.
Tour dates and venues:
Wed 19th Nov - Sydney, the Metro - tickets from Ticketek
Thu 20th Nov - Brisbane, the Hi-Fi - tickets from Oztix
Fri 21st Nov - Melbourne, the Hi-Fi - tickets from Oztix
Sat 22nd Nov - Canberra, Metal Fiesta at the Basement - tickets from Oztix
