Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin Slot Co-Headline Run

It’s a good time for both bands to tour. Three Days Grace’s latest album – Life Starts Now – is a best seller and has spawned at least one hit single with the song “Break.”

Breaking Benjamin is no slouch either. The band’s latest effort – Dear Agony – is also a monster seller, resulting in the first single from the album – “I Will Not Bow” – hitting No. 1 on rock radio charts.

Of course, this isn’t the first time Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin have joined road forces. The two bands shared headline billing in 2007.

“I’m looking forward to touring with the Three Days Grace guys again,” said Breaking Benjamin lead singer Ben Burnley. “This is going to be a kick ass night of music for the fans.”
