Solstate Hit India For The Great Indian Rock Tour and Festival Dates

Auckland rock band Solstate has been invited to perform at the annual Great Indian Rock tour throughout October 2009. The five piece will take their melodic brand of heavy rock to crowds of up to 50 000 punters, headlining three of the festival dates for what has been described as the ‘Big Day Out’ of India.

Solstate will also head out on their own headline tour throughout India, including college festival and club dates which are soon to be announced. The band will be filming the tour (which already includes confirmed dates in Bangalore, Delhi, Pune and Goa) for content for an upcoming documentary.

The tour comes in support of their debut album Whispers and Tremors being released in India through OML/EMI Virgin in November. Whispers and Tremors made a heavy impact upon the NZ rock scene upon its release late last year, with singles ‘Alright Now’ and ‘Tonight’ making waves in the singles charts. New radio single ‘Rise’ is set for the same path, heading out to stations next week. With tracks from Whispers and Tremors already blasting across major Indian Radio and TV networks, Solstate look set to take the continent by storm.
