PAPA ROACH To Headline ZIPPO HOT TOUR In Support Of 'The Paramour Sessions'

July 6, 2006

PAPA ROACH will headline The 2006 Zippo Hot Tour this November in support of their forthcoming fourth album on Geffen, titled "The Paramour Sessions", due out on September 12.

Since the release of their major label debut album back in 2000, PAPA ROACH have released three smash albums: "Infest", "Lovehatetragedy", and "Getting Away with Murder", selling 9 million copies of those titles combined worldwide. They have scored eight consecutive hit singles on the rock charts including "She Loves Me Not", "Last Resort", "Getting Away with Murder" and "Scars".

"We are stoked to be headlining this year's Zippo Hot Tour,” commented Jacoby Shaddix of PAPA ROACH. "When Zippo approached us about this opportunity we couldn't say no. Supporting local music scenes has always been a priority for us, and the fact that the Zippo Hot Tour gives a young local band an opportunity to have a career in the music business is amazing."

The 2006 Zippo Hot Tour kicked off on March 1 when rock bands from ten U.S. cities — Austin, TX, Charlotte, NC, Cincinnati, OH, Columbus, OH, Indianapolis, IN, Milwaukee, WI, Orlando, FL, Phoenix, AZ, Philadelphia, PA and Tampa, FL — began registering for an amazing opportunity.

With 388 bands making the quarter-finals cut, the first round of online voting for the 2006 Zippo Hot Tour began on May 15 at zippohottour.com. Determined by online fan voting, the top bands in each of the ten cities will then take to the stage to compete live in September at special Zippo Hot Tour regional showcase events. The winners of this round will be announced on or about July 14. All of these bands are again competing for a shot at being showcased to a major label, almost $100,000 in prizes, and a spot on stage with PAPA ROACH during their tour this fall.
