NEW SHOWS ADDED TO HENRY ROLLINS TOUR

Due to overwhelming popular demand, Feel Presents can announce the addition of three (3) brand new spoken word performances by Henry Rollins on his 'Shock And Awe... My Ass' tour this May.

The new shows will take place in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne where performances announced last month are either sold out or very close to it. In fact the 'Shock and Awe... My Ass' tour has seen the biggest opening ticket sales since Rollins first performed in Australia. Rollins will now perform a third show in Sydney and Melbourne, while in Brisbane he will perform a second night at the Tivoli.

NEW SHOWS
Thursday 19th May - Seymour Centre, Sydney
Wednesday 25th May - Tivoli Theatre, Brisbane
Sunday 29th - National Theatre, Melbourne

Tickets for new Rollins shows (except Brisbane) are on sale Thursday April 21st from the outlets listed below. Tickets for the second Brisbane show are on sale NOW. All performances commence at 8.00pm sharp.

Rollins caught up with the real Shock And Awe operation in recent travels to Iraq and Afghanistan as well as visits to Qatar and Kuwait. . While Rollins has been a vocal critic of President Bush’s foreign policy, that hasn’t stopped him from enthusiastically supporting American troops overseas.

Those experiences performing for troops will form part of the basis for the material on the Shock And Awe shows, but as always expect Rollins to add levity with tales of life on the road and in L.A. and finding absurdity in even the most solemn events.

It’s his ability to shift effortlessly from the somber to the farcical that leaves audiences as intrigued as ever. Curious? Then what are you waiting for? Don’t miss the always outspoken Henry Rollins on his 'Shock And Awe... My Ass' tour this May.
