“It takes a ballsy band to play the Sydney Opera House after just two albums… their ambition was given a pretty fair chance by a band which plays well enough to impress, a batch of songs which in their best moments have a soaring reach…and a singer who grew in confidence through the night until she was performing a lap dance on a woman from the front row and making it seem ridiculous and perfect.” The Sydney Morning Herald

**** TOUR UPDATE ****
*** Australian Appearances Cancelled ***
Five Finger Death Punch singer Ivan Moody was hospitalized in his hometown of Denver. He is expected to make a full recovery but it is with deep regret that Five Finger Death Punch will be forced to cancel their appearances in Australia, both with Black Sabbath and as headliners in Sydney and in Melbourne.
It is especially disappointing to Five Finger Death Punch that they will not be able to play before Black Sabbath, a band Five Finger Death Punch has deep reverence for, on Black Sabbath’s last ever shows in Australia.
Ivan and Five Finger Death Punch express their sincere apologies to both their fans and to the fans of Black Sabbath.
Ticket holders for Five Finger Death Punch’s headline shows in Melbourne (April 20 at The Forum) and Sydney (April 22 at Big Top, Luna Park) and will be contacted by the relevant ticketing outlet to advise of the process for obtaining a refund.

******* ENDS *******
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (FFDP) have been announced as very special guest to Black Sabbath’s The End tour taking place across Australia in April 2016.
The American metal juggernaut crashed into the ARIA Charts last month at #3 with their sixth album, Got Your Six, giving them their highest Australian chart position ever! Got Your Six is the follow-up to the two global smash hits, 2013’s The Wrong Side Of Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell Volumes 1 and 2 which debuted at #13 and #29 respectively. The album prior, 2011’s American Capitalist debuted at #50, proving FFDP’s fanbase has grown dramatically in Australia over just a few years.
The band’s last visit to our shores was in 2014 as part of the Soundwave Festival where their trademark stadium anthems garnered new fans and thrilled their faithful.
With one of heavy music’s biggest modern acts joining forces with the masters of reality, Australian fans are in for an epic night of classic heavy metal and monster sized riffage as they bear witness to the end of an era.
Watch the music video for “Wash It All Away,” Five Finger Death Punch’s brand new single here: http://vevo.ly/n5N5ht
The clip was shot by acclaimed music video director Wayne Isham (Metallica, Motley Crue) at the band’s recent headlining show at Mohegan Sun Arena (Uncasville, CT) and showcases their highly visual stage show, and the contagious energy that fuels the thousands of rabid fans in attendance.
Zoltan Bathory (guitars) states: “There is a reason why Wayne Isham is a legendary video director; I think he was the perfect choice to capture the band’s live show and the energy that connects us to our fans. That energy is the reason why this band is still getting bigger and bigger, something is simply infectious about what leads up to and what happens at our shows and we wanted to create a time capsule of that for ourselves and for the fans.”
For more information about the tour and VIP offerings go to Fivefingerdeathpunch.com and livenation.com.au.
The Vegas based rockers have grown exponentially in a short amount of time, racking up 15 consecutive Top 10 Hits, three #1 hits and five Gold albums. With the release of their 2-volumes in 2013, the band frequently released new content outselling the majority of bands in their genre, with more than 1.5 million albums sold over the past two years just in North America alone.
Tickets for Black Sabbath, with special guests Five Finger Death Punch, and Rival Sons, are on sale now.
