CHARLESTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – It’s been said that opposites attract, and the classic idiom appears to hold true as, on Monday, country superstar Brantley Gilbert and heavy metal mainstays Five Finger Death Punch announced their return to West Virginia for a co-headlining show at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center.
The show’s announcement came Monday morning, along with that of a full Fall 2022 arena tour which will take the superstar pairing across the country.
The tour, produced by Live Nation and featuring country-rock opener Cory Marks, will begin with a November performance in Grand Rapids, Michigan and make its way through 20 other cities before concluding with a December show in Las Vegas.
While some may be scratching their heads at the curious decision to bring together top-name performers from such disparate genres, the tour will not mark the first occasion on which the two camps have joined forces for a collaboration.
In 2019, Gilbert joined the rockers for a cover of bluesman Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s modern classic, “Blue on Black,” which also featured legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, along with Shepherd himself.
The track was recorded in support of the Gary Sinise Foundation, a non-profit founded by the actor from which it takes its name – known for roles such as Lt. Dan Taylor in 1994’s Forrest Gump and Harry S. Truman in 1995’s Truman – which works to support veterans and first responders.
The pair will make their way to Charleston on November 19th, 2022, and tickets will go on sale Friday, August 19th.
