To the Five For Fighting fans


Over the last month or so I have noticed a lot of people coming to this blog after searching for Five For Fighting tour dates. I'm sorry to say that there are no plans for John and the band to do any touring anytime soon. John has been playing a few charity, corporate and other events solo but no band shows.

I am not sure what his plans are for 2008. Our conversations have centered around hockey lately. Plus I have been busy with the Finger Eleven camp and their tours which continue next week.

Feel free to contact John at his website or myspace. I know he tries to answer all his email.

In the meantime if you haven't done it, go out and buy the latest concert DVD from his most recent tour. You will get to see my work right on your tv or computer.

let me correct myself

The tour dates that I posted recently are correct except that I mentioned they were all with Chevelle. Let me correct that they will not be on any of the Canadian dates except for Toronto.

I have spent several days working on a lighting and set design for the Canadian shows. The band will have some surprises in store for those shows.

We will not be carrying production for the US tour dates at this point. I am a little disappointed but it was not my call.

It looks like we will be fairly busy at least into the summer.

Tour dates updated

Originally we were scheduled to start the next tour on the 19th of February. Things have been pushed back to March 4th. Most of the shows are with Chevelle. There are some dates you will find posted for Chevelle around the net that the guys will not be on. All of the dates posted here are the two bands together.


Also the guys will be performing at Juno Awards in Canada in April. They are also up for single, album and artist of the year.

I haven't posted anything about these changes till now. Things have been pushed back due to illness with a band member. He is going to be fine but was ordered to rest. I will not discuss it here until the band posts it on their site.

Here are the updated shows.
