DRAGONFORCE Announces Far East Leg Of 'Ultra Beatdown' World Tour

January 20, 2009

After crashing into the Top 20 national album charts in Singapore and Taiwan with the new album "Ultra Beatdown", British extreme epic power metallers DRAGONFORCE have announced their second tour of the Far East for early April 2009.

DRAGONFORCE's spectacular rise in the Far East countries following the band's initial sold-out tour in 2007 supporting the phenomenally successful "Inhuman Rampage" release took many music industry onlookers by surprise, except Hong Kong-born guitar virtuoso Herman Li. He explained, "I honestly always knew we would have a good shot at success in the Far East. The people there like a good show and appreciate good music. Many bands don’t pay enough attention to the various countries in that area of the world and I should know because Hong Kong is my homeland! To be honest, it was difficult for us to do our first tour because all of us in the band knew the demands and expectations being made of our time in the U.S., Canada, UK, Europe, Japan and Australia, and the Far East tour came at the end of an 18-month-long world tour, but we all promised fans we would play there live and honored that promise. This time around we are adding other countries as well. Obviously, I'm looking forward to playing Hong Kong, but we'll put on a great show for all the fans in China, Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore also! It will be great to be back!"

The dates are as follows:

April 06 - Beijing, China, GC Yu Gong Yi Shan Live House
April 07 - Hong Kong, Autorium, 3/f Hitec, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong
April 09 - Taipei, Taiwan, Sword Lake Youth Activity Center
April 10 - Bangkok, Thailand, Thunderdome Complex
April 11 - Singapore, D'Marquee, Downtown East
