As the sun begins to creep down toward the horizon on March 27, Buckcherry, Avenged Sevenfold and Papa Roach will be hitting the stage at Rupp Arena. This excellent night of rock has been billed as having four bands. Up until the Nickelback tour which just started, Saving Abel was that fourth band. Now they have moved on to touring with Nickelback, which I would argue is a much more appropriate market for their music. So to round out the foursome, Burn Halo will be stepping in as the opener at Rupp Arena (and other dates on the tour). For those wondering who they are, hit the jump to get in-the-know.
