MUMBAI: This March, Vh1 is all set to bring international alt-rock sensation Switchfoot to India with Micromax Vh1 Rock Rules.
This tour marks the debut performance of the California-based, Grammy award-winning band in India. Alt-Rock fans will get a chance to witness the band perform live in India in Mumbai, Pune and Gurgaon at Hard Rock Café on 25, 27 and 29 March respectively.
After the release of nine studio albums, Switchfoot is geared up to finally take Indian fans down a nostalgic lane with their three-city tour. Being their maiden trip to India, Switchfoot promises to entertain fans with the best hits of their eighteen years.
Viacom18 EVP and English entertainment head Ferzad Palia says, “Switchfoot has created a rage amongst the Indian audience with their super-hit tracks and albums for several years. We are immensely delighted to present the band’s maiden tour in India through Micromax Vh1 Rock Rules.”
Switchfoot member Jon Foreman added, "I had the chance to visit India on my own a few years back, and it blew my mind. Ever since, I've been begging for the chance to bring my bandmates back with me to play some shows. We can't wait to bring these songs to India."
Switchfoot became a sensation with their popular tracks in ‘A Walk To Remember’. The band then commenced their journey to success with hit singles such as ‘We are One Tonight’, ‘Need To Live’ to name a few. The band comprises singer/songwriter Jon Foreman, his younger brother (and co-writer) Tim Foreman on bass, drummer Chad Butler and multi-instrumentalist Jerome Fontamillas.
