The Maine have announced their first-ever nationwide headlining tour. "An Evening with The Maine," kicks off July 7th in San Francisco, CA and runs through August 27th in Mesa, AZ. The tour will support the July 13th release of their major label debut album Black & White. The Howard Benson-produced Black & White is the follow-up to their 2008 Fearless Records debut Can't Stop, Won't Stop.
"An Evening with The Maine" will be a unique event that allows fans to connect with the band on a personal level. Each show will feature a 90-minute set from the Arizona five-piece, followed by an audience-wide meet & greet and photo session for any fan wishing to say hello to the band. This Century will open on the tour, and there will be special guests, giveaways, contests and prizes every night.
"There aren't a lot of bands that have a deep, one-on-one connection with their fans like The Maine do," says Alternative Press founder Mike Shea. "These guys work awfully hard writing catchy, long-lasting material for their albums, giving their fan base memorable songs that they'll have on their iPods for another generation to come." Of AP's decision to present "An Evening with The Maine," he continues, "Being former AP Tour alumni, when they asked us to become involved we felt like it was a family reunion. We're so happy to be involved with this band on this unique small-club tour this summer."
