3 Doors Down World Tour Heads To Russia, Poland & Download Festival

Nashville, TN — 3 Doors Down will arrive in Moscow for the tour opener on May 31, with visits planned for Russia and Poland for the first time.  Additionally, the band will stage their inaugural appearance at the Download Festival in the U.K.  Following two U.S. legs, and planned appearances at U.S. festivals, the international excursion is one the band looks forward to.  Singer Brad Arnold shares, “We are all excited to get back to Europe and see our friends overseas! There are stops in Russia and Poland this time around. It will be our first chance to perform for our fans in those countries, and I can’t wait! See you on the road.”  3 Doors Down has achieved great success outside of North America with cumulative sales exceeding 2 million albums internationally.

On November 19, 2012, 3 Doors Down released THE GREATEST HITS, a collection of nine #1 singles, accompanied by three new songs.  While many greatest hits albums signify the end of a career, the band’s recent release is the origin of a new chapter.  Historically, few artists over the past two decades have enjoyed a greater level of radio airplay success than 3 Doors Down, and with “One Light” hitting the Top 5, the band has once again proven they are hit makers. The full track-listing includes “Kryptonite,” “When I’m Gone,” “Here Without You,” “It’s Not My Time,” “Let Me Go,” “Be Like That,” “Loser,” “Away From The Sun,” “Duck and Run,” “One Light,” “There’s A Life,” and “Goodbyes.”

Originally from Escatawpa, MS, the band has achieved success across The Globe.  Over the past several months, the quintet has staged two U.S. legs of the World Tour alongside appearances in Dubai and Mexico.  Prior to the excursion that takes 3 Doors Down in to Russia, Poland, and Europe, the band will appear at U.S festivals that include Toad Lick Music Festival (Dothan, AL), Fort Rock (Ft. Myers, FL), Welcome To Rockville (Jacksonville, FL) and Carolina Rebellion (Concord, NC).  Additionally, a special one-time only acoustic evening at the War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, TN will be staged on May 4.  The complete itinerary is here: http://www.3doorsdown.com/events.
