It has been an eventful year for Mancunian gutter rock-n-rollers Dear Superstar. They finished off 2008 touring with Bullet For My Valentine, Hanoi Rocks and Wednesday13.

Then they headlined the Never Surrender Tour with shows alongside Kids in Glass Houses and Elliot Minor. Refusing to slow down for 2009, they have just announced a month of touring with Sacramento rockers Papa Roach.

The tour kicks off on April 16th at Manchester Academy then ploughs through to London and Birmingham, before Dear Superstar head out on their own UK Headline tour in support of a single release.

Micky commented "Papa Roach have really inspired Dear Superstar over the years, from back in the Infest days to their latest offerings so its a honor to support them on this tour. Its going to be 3 insane days of excess and decadence - so be prepared for a fucking bloodbath!"

With rumors of a full European tour on the horizon, it seems 2009 belongs to Dear Superstar.
