(Nashville, Tenn.) Jan. 24, 2012 -- Two-time GRAMMY nominated, Essential Records rock act RED kicks off its second headlining tour in five months, the "REDvolution Tour," on Feb. 10. Visiting 20+ cities domestically, with special guests Thousand Foot Krutch, Manafest, Nine Lashes, and KIROS, the tour will also include a run of "RED only" dates throughout Europe in April.

A year since releasing its acclaimed third studio project, Until We Have Faces, RED continues to make massive career strides, venturing out on back-to-back headlining tours. Following its popular fall "Kill The Machine Tour," RED sets the stage for an all-new endeavor, the "REDvolution Tour." Kicking off two weeks from Friday, the tour will visit more than 20 cities across the U.S., including major markets Washington, D.C., Dallas, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, among others, through late March.

And for the first time, RED will headline its own European tour, taking the show abroad to cities in The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Russia and Ukraine.
