The Spring Jagermeister Music Tour is About to be Unleashed!

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Jagermeister Music Tour is back ... louder and heavier than ever. Running twice a year for six years straight, this Spring Tour continues the momentum with a co-headlining bill featuring undisputed heavyweights of hardcore metal, Hatebreed and kings of goth metal, Type O Negative.

Hatebreed have been touring non-stop in support of their 2006 release "Supremacy" and look forward to another up-close encounter with Jagermeister. "Having the opportunity to headline the Jagermeister Music Tour, like our friends from Slayer & Slipknot is a tremendous honor," says frontman, Jamey Jasta. "Jagermeister has supported heavy music in so many different ways and they continue to bring together the best of the best in metal. The Spring Tour will be no different and co-headlining with our friends from Type O Negative makes it that much sweeter."

New Yorkers, Type O Negative hit the metal scene in 1991. Many of today's rockers have acknowledged the measure of Type O Negative's influence in their own work. The band is fired up to tour with their SPV Records debut, "Dead Again." Peter Steele of Type O Negative says, "We've always had serious respect for everything Jagermeister does in music and headlining their Tour has been a long-time goal of ours. It's an even greater accomplishment to have a co-headlining band like Hatebreed along for the ride with us."

"We thought long and hard before putting this tour together and feel these two bands are a perfect fit for the Spring Jagermeister Music Tour," says Rick Zeiler, Director of Strategic Marketing for Jagermeister. "We've been doing this long enough to know who will work well on our Tour and feel the synergy is perfect. Get ready, metal fans -- this will definitely be one of the hardest tours we've ever done!"

The Tour will rock through June and each show will be rounded out with a local Jagermeister sponsored band. On the road since 2002, The Jagermeister Music Tour, now produced by GMR Entertainment, has become THE rock show to see. For less than $30 a ticket, fans will not only have the opportunity to experience a great show, but also have a chance to snag some great Jagermeister prizes and giveaways like JagerMusic compilation CD's, as well as plenty of Jagermeister shirts, hats, and more. Other prizes provided by Tour sponsors include custom items from Schecter Guitars, Peavey Electronics, and JVC Mobile Entertainment.*
