The Frontier Touring Company are stoked to confirm that Taste Of Chaos, the surprise touring sensation of 2005 will return down under with an extra tasty lineup for 2006. The Rockstar™ Taste Of Chaos 2006 tour of Australia and New Zealand has attracted a stellar international lineup of Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, Anti-Flag, Underoath, Senses Fail, and Saosin.
Parkway Drive will appear as the mainstage domestic act in each Australian city while Cold By Winter will take the stage in Auckland. As with last year's tour the smaller local stage will be reinstated to showcase the talents of local acts in front of thousands of fans.
In 2005 the inaugural indoor music festival event was a runaway success with Taste Of Chaos shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth attracting in excess of 40,000 fans nationally. In response to the demands of Kiwi fans this year's tour will also include an Auckland show for the very first time.
Devised by Kevin Lyman (US Vans Warped Tour), John Reese of Freeze Management (Story Of The Year, The Used and more), and Darryl Eaton of Creative Artist Agency, Taste Of Chaos was developed to cater to a largely ignored legion of young fans with non-mainstream music tastes.
Rockstar™ Taste Of Chaos 2006 will see the continuation of Rockstar™ Energy Drink's naming rights association of this year's United States Taste Of Chaos tour. The company makes its first foray into the Australian market in July this year.
The tour will be presented by HURLEY while Ernie Ball, Myspace.com, and PETA will continue their on-going relationship with the event.
Partnerships from 2005 will continue this year with Triple J, Channel [V], and Bombshellzine all committing to the Australian leg of the tour. Also on board, for the first time, are Blunt Magazine and Myspace Australia. In New Zealand Groove Guide and C4 TV will join the fold.
External to the main arena areas each Taste Of Chaos show will feature a selection of stalls with offers, games, signings, prizes and promotions ensuring Taste Of Chaos becomes an event, not just a concert for fans.
