Skillet rocks over 35,000 fans at Russia's Black Sea Kubana Festival
Nashville, TN - Following several sell out shows in Russia in 2011, Skillet returned to country's Black Sea this week to play before over 35,000 fans at the Kubana Festival with System of a Down. While on the other side of the planet, the Grammy® nominated and platinum selling rockers garnered their second No. 1 hit from their critically acclaimed project RISE as "American Noise" hit the top spot on the Christian Hot AC Chart. "American Noise" follows their Top 10 Mainstream Active Rock and No. 1 Christian Rock single, "Sick of It." RISE continues to be the No. 1 selling Christian album seven weeks after its release.
Following a spectacular debut on CONAN and recent performances at several major Christian and mainstream festivals, Skillet will hit the road with Shinedown this weekend on the Carnival of Madness tour. Kicking off August 13, the tour will also feature the touted prodigy band of John Cooper, We As Human. They’ll follow by heading overseas for their first-ever tour with Nickelback, a month-long jaunt that will see Skillet playing Milan, Paris, Vienna, London, and many more.
