Alien Ant Farm rose to fame in 2001 when their cover of Michael Jackson’s ‘Smooth Criminal’ topped the Billboard Alternate Single Charts. It led to their sophomore album, Anthology, reaching #11 on the Billboard 200 and Alien Ant Farm embarking on successful tours across the globe.
The band has gone on to release six albums in total, including this year’s Mantras, and will be playing songs spanning their 25-year career, including fan favourites ‘Yellow Pages’, ‘Homage’, ‘Godlike’, ‘Glow’, ‘Forgive & Forget’, ‘Last dAntz’ and more.
While CKY’s last album was 2017s The Phoenix, the Chad I Ginsburg and Jess Margera led band has been receiving rave reviews for their most recent North American and European tour. The band has also confirmed they have a new album on the way, with New Reason to Dream currently being mixed and mastered before an independent release this year, giving fans plenty of time to familiarise themselves with the songs before the tour kicks off next February.
