Tour Dates

Scream It Like You Mean It Tour Officially Has Most Confusing Routing Ever

Scream_It_Like_You_Mean_It_2012_tour_dates-1

In all my years of writing about music (damn, it's almost a decade now..) never have I come across a tour routing as confusing as the Scream It Like You Mean It Tour. It's actually two (or maybe three) tours that run separately at some points and then intersect at others for mega-shows. I think? It's sort of three different tours, the two singular tours and then the third, combined Voltron tour. I am a fan of some of the bands on the tour like The Acacia Strain and The Chariot, and then not so crazy about others like Attack Attack! and Impending Doom. But despite my feelings, here is the really confusing tour routing:

Big thanks to ThePRP for making sense of all of these confusing routings.

    wtf??? That is pretty freaking ridiculous how dare they do that? If you are going to hype the shit out of this tour like they did and then turn around and do this stupid shit then to me thats a fail on their part. Look at The All Stars Tour and big festival tours like Mayhem and Warped if they can make it happen with a shit ton of bands all at one venue then they can certainly do the same with this tour! If this was their way of competing with All Stars tour then they have failed so god damn hard!! I really wanted to see Impending Doom again and some others in Orlando, but oh well I guess at least The Chariot and The Acacia Strain will be there!

    It's understandable if it's all ONE tour and they skip some places…but I find it really funny and confusing at the same time how they have THREE tour routes…and no Seattle date xD It's disappointing because I like a lot of those bands…but It's hilarious how they have three tours yet they STILL missed Washington :P

  • drugtaker

    All those bands are garbage anyway. Acacia Strains lost it.

    C'mon, you guys throw a lot of shit at Metallica on the livecast but when this massive pile of shit is revealed to slither across our beautiful nation this summer, all you can say is that you're not so crazy about a few bands? Good God, man, this is one of the most horrendous lineups I've ever seen.

  • whoooooooooo

    dammit it would be pretty sick to meet Vincent Bennet from the Acacia Strain
