Hit The Lights, Heroes For Hire, State Champs Team Up For Tour

The announcement of A Softcore Gathering a few weeks back saw a bunch of pop-punk's finest on the bill - now the big three on the lineup have announced a national tour of Australia!

Joining forces will be Ohio band Hit The Lights, fellow Americans State Champs and local boys Heroes For Hire. The guys will make their way around the country before finishing up at Sydney's Metro Theatre for the mini-fest that's brought them together. Tickets are available now.

This tour marks the first trips down under for Hit The Lights and State Champs. It will also feature the new-look lineup of Sydney punkers Heroes For Hire after their frontman controversy earlier this year.

Get into a bit of 2012 HTL, in the shape of Gravity.
