Real Friends announce special headlining tour, all tickets $5
Real Friends have announced a headlining tour, but not just any headlining tour—the band will be hitting unconventional venues like VFW halls, bowling alleys and skate parks. That’s not even the whole story: all tickets will be $5.
QUIZ: Which pop-punk band are you?
With venues shutting down and ticket prices going up, the tour is Real Friends’ way of giving back to fans and local music scenes. Check out a statement from the band and all the dates below. (Tickets are on sale now.)
Real Friends’ follow-up to 2014’s Maybe This Place Is The Same And We’re Just Changing will be released later this year and is one of AP’s most anticipated for 2016. Fearless Records labelmates Movements are joining Real Friends on this special headlining tour.
“We are stoked to announce “The $5 Tour.” We will be playing small places that aren't traditional settings for shows. Some of the venues are skateparks, retail stores, restaurants, record stores, and even batting cages. All ticket prices will be $5. We owe everything to you. It's time to give back with not only a unique show experience, but an affordable ticket price as well. This will be fun for everyone involved. Being in a band is about having fun and there should be no rules. This will really highlight that. Tickets are VERY limited. Most of the shows have less than 150 total tickets available.”
