Parkway Drive upgrade Geelong venue

Parkway Drive's show at the Bended Elbow on March 9 on the Sick Summer Tour has been moved to the Geelong Arena. All tickets purchased for the Bended Elbow show are valid. Tickets are on sale now from Oztix.

Kicking off the new year touring as part of the Big Day Out, Parkway Drive has announced a run of regional dates for February and March. The Sick Summer II Tour commences on the Sunshine Coast on February 16 and will visit towns along the East Coast before it's last stop at Melbourne's Push Over Fest on March 12.

"Summer time in Australia. Is there any other place you'd want to be? Frontman Winston McCall comments. "For us it means a chance to hit the road in the country we love and play as many of those places we don't get to stop at as much. We figure the major cities have had their chance so its time to bring the show back to regional Australia, and lets see how crazy the small towns can get. These tours always end up some of the funnest shows we play anywhere. Sweaty venues, stage dives, sing alongs, beach hang outs. Sick Summer indeed. Grab a board and be part of the mayhem."

Sydney's Hand Of Mercy have been added to all shows excluding the festival dates and joining them on the Queensland and Byron Bay dates will be newcomers Survival, on the NSW dates Northlane and on the Victorian shows Hopeless, as well as local openers at each show.

All shows all ages. Tickets on sale now.
