Fox Theatre to Feature 'Godsmack Oracle', 10/16

Godsmack will bruise, batter and bludgeon their path across the United States with a fall tour in support of their chart-topping fifth studio album, The Oracle. Godsmack with special guests Drowning Pool and Five Finger Death Punch will perform at Detroit's Fox Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m.

This highly anticipated headline run commences in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live on September 28, 2010 with Five Finger Death Punch & Drowning Pool giving the band support on various dates.

Godsmack's stage show has become legendary, setting off an explosion of hard rock anthems with pyrotechnics and staggering presence. This marks the Massachusetts quartet's first proper cross-country trek since The Oracle was released on May 5, 2010, and it's bound to be one for the books. The band has also teamed with I Love All Access to provide a variety of fan ticket packages for the show, including premium seats, meet and greets, photo ops, parties and more. For more information please go to iloveallaccess.com.

Coming off the success of "Cryin' Like a Bitch," GODSMACK 's latest number one rock radio single, "Love Hate Sex Pain," hit radio on July 12 and is already inside the Top Ten. The band's blistering live show is going to steamroll the masses with new classics as well as staples like "Whatever," "Awake" and "Straight Out of Line."

The Oracle debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200, selling 117,000 copies in its first week. The album was the band's third consecutive release to debut at number one, following Faceless in 2003 and IV in 2006. In addition, the new album climbed to the top of the iTunes album release chart moving in excess of 23,000 digital copies.

Godsmack remains one of the most popular modern hard rock acts. Since their self-titled debut in 1998, the band has sold over 15 million records worldwide and racked up 19 top ten rock radio hits with 15 songs hitting the Top Five and 5 reaching number 1.

The Oracle simply continues a long tradition of ass-kicking on tape and on the road.
