FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH – Behind The Scenes At Chicago Open Air 2016; Video

Five Finger Death Punch have uploaded this new video, which takes you behind the scenes for a very special night at the inaugural Chicago Open Air Festival.

Five Finger Death Punch recently released a video for their track “I Apologize”, featured on their Got Your Six album.

Says the band: “The video is a dark somber metaphor that speaks for itself. I don’t think we need a parallel narrative to explain it or emphasize its impact as almost everyone knows someone struggling with some form of addiction. It’s real for everybody. We have even been losing exceptionally bright, talented people who you’d assume know better. No matter how much support you provide, ultimately it’s everyone’s own decision to face their demons or perish.”

Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach join forces this fall for Canada’s biggest arena rock tour, with special guests Sixx:A.M. and support from From Ashes To New. The bands have announced a newly added show in Quebec City at the Videotron Centre Arena on Monday, September 26th. The local pre-sale & VIP packages will kick off this Wednesday, August 10th with the general ticket on-sale starting Friday, August 12th.

The bands also announced today that the $1 from each ticket purchased will be benefiting the Canadian Red Cross in support of wildfire relief.

Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach actively involved the fans by giving them the opportunity to request the tour come to their city via an exclusive “demand campaign” for Canadian fans. Over 90,000 votes were cast.

Zoltan Bathory (guitar) of Five Finger Death Punch states: “We took this Demand Campaign everywhere. We had huge success with it in the USA, and in Europe it even won the “Arena Tour of the Year” award… It’s not surprising in a way as it is inclusive of the fans – they vote and we are listening. What a concept, right? Nobody learns from talking, you learn from listening.”

“When we did this tour last year in the USA, it was truly the ‘Best Tour Ever’. We heard from so many of our Canadian fans that really wanted to see this show – so we’re bringing it to them. This is one show you won’t wanna miss.” says Papa Roach vocalist, Jacoby Shaddix.
