As with all Christmas outings, this tour promises a few Christmas classics along with fans’ favorites from both bands’ catalogs. Hmmm… could that mean a set featuring, say, FF5’s “Love Addict” segueing into “Little Drummer Boy,” or Forever The Sickest Kids’ “Whoa Oh! (Me vs. Everyone)” performed back-to-back with “Silent Night?” Guess we won’t know until December.

Presented by Alternative Press, the tour begins in Grand Rapids, Mich., at the Intersection Dec. 1, plays Columbus, Ohio, at the Newport Music Hall Dec. 2 and stops in Cincinnati for a show at The Underground Dec. 3. Other dates include Dec. 4 in Madison, Wis., at Barrymore Theatre; Dec. 7 in Colorado Springs at the Pikes Peak Center; Dec. 9 in Anaheim at House Of Blues; Dec. 11 in Fresno (dry heat capital of the western hemisphere) at Rainbow Ballroom and Dec. 16 in Albuquerque at Sunshine Theatre. Last stop is Dallas at House Of Blues Dec. 19, although Forever The Sickest Kids will not be on this show.
