Grand Rapids, Michigan act POP EVIL have been added to the upcoming JUDAS PRIEST, WHITESNAKE tour that kicks off in late June at Murat Centre in Indianapolis, IN.

Here's an excerpt from their bio: "After eight years of funky bars, sleeping in cars and miles of highway leading to another strange city, nothing has changed. Well, perhaps a bit. Pop Evil has toured consistently since (and prior to) the release of Lipstick on the Mirror with a combination of headline dates and Special Guest support with PUDDLE OF MUDD, TESLA, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, P.O.D. and SALIVA.

"We watch the bands opening for us," states bassist Matt DiRito, "and we not only remember what it was like for us in that slot. We know that band is warming up the crowd for us and in turn, there will always be something for us to learn from them."
