August Burns Red to play Mandela Hall

Metalcore outfit August Burns Red have announced that they will play the Mandela Hall in Belfast on Friday February 7 2014.

The band isn’t afraid to branch out, weaving in elements of other influences from punk to indie to rock. Throughout the latest album’s 11 tracks, the band artfully blend piano, cello, violin, trumpet, various percussive elements and more into their sonic arsenal, taking their music to new aesthetic heights and contorting the boundaries of heavy music.

Their latest album, Rescue & Restore, is a colossal effort which turns a critical eye to the oft-maligned genre, leading by example to prove that bands can still find exciting new ways to expand the genre without simply falling into repetitive trappings.

Tickets on sale priced £12 (excluding booking fee) from your Students’ Union Reception or www.ticketmaster.ie.
