ROYAL HUNT will tour Australia for the very first time in their history. Royal Hunt features ‘royalty’ in terms of band member personnel with D.C. Cooper (SILENT FORCE, AMARAN’S PLIGHT), Andre Andersen (CORNERSTONE, EVIL MASQUERADE, PRIME TIME, JOHN WEST) and Allan Sorensen (Cornerstone, Prime Time) leading the front line.

Royal Hunt will perform tracks off their recent new release A Life To Die For, they will also perform a comprehensive selection of Royal Hunt tracks across their discography with an emphasis on the bands and the fans most popular tracks. Fans will be treated to a non-stop barrage of constant Royal Hunt classics all the while the band will give it everything they have with every single ounce of energy being left on the stage to make these shows last a lifetime in the memory banks of all that attend. After all, Royal Hunt moved heaven and hell to make sure that they finally get to perform in Australia so these will be shows to savor for all connected and for those witnessing the shows.

Royal Hunt will only be performing two exclusive shows; one in Melbourne and one in Sydney. They will be supported on both shows by progressive melodic metal masters VANISHING POINT and AVARIN. This just may be the one and only opportunity to see Royal Hunt live in Australia.
