Over It Replace October Fall On Amber Pacific Tour

By Leave a Comment

Amber Pacific have announced that Over It will be replacing October Fall on their current tour. You can read what the band says below.

The band’s for the tour will now be:

Amber Pacific
The Audition
This Day & Age
Sherwood
OVER IT* (replacing October Fall)
Just Surrender
All Time Low

The reason behind replacing October Fall on the tour is that they aren’t going to be available anymore to go on our tour. We did not kick them off, and wish them all the best. I am sure their label or the band themselves will be making a press release about their other plans in a short time from now.

Either way, we are stoked to have Over It come out with us in their place and their presence will solidify this tour as the kind of Pop Punk Tour that we as a band are stoked to be a part and gracious to have been able to select and take out such awesome bands.

You should all come out to rock out with us because not only will it be a sick line-up, but there is a 99% chance that it will be our last tour until 2007.

OH, and we will have another BIG announcement about the tour in the beginning of August as well. See you all soon!
