Assignment 4: All Time Low announce second support for O2 performance (opinion column writing)

American based pop-punk band All Time Low have announced that pop-rock Against The Current will be supporting them alongside Good Charlotte at the O2 arena in February.

The New York based band have been steadily growing over the past couple of years and have just returned from a three month world tour following their release of their debut EP Gravity.

They started as a YouTube cover band - where a lot of their fans, including myself, found them - working to produce covers of popular songs, such as 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars and 'Beauty and the Beat' by Justin Bieber, with a rock twist very successfully.

Lead singer Chrissy Costanza, with guitarist Daniel Gow and drummer Will Ferri, were signed to Fueled By Ramen earlier this year, alongside bands like Panic! At The Disco, Paramore and Twenty One Pilots - a similar genre to Against The Current.

All Time Low said they were 'excited' about the New Yorkers joining them on their tour. 'Kerrang' and 'Rock Sound' have both posted articles following the announcement however know no more thus far. 'Rock Sound' have interviewed Against The Current in the past and have been following their rise to popularity in the UK, following their success in the US.

All Time Low are incredible live performers, having recorded a concert DVD to a sold out Wembley arena earlier in 2015 which was their best performance I've seen to date, having seen them perform in Cambridge Corn Exchange four years earlier. Good Charlotte are making their return on this tour following a four year break and Against The Current said when announcing their part in the 'Back To The Future Hearts' tour that 'we are so pumped'.

The three bands will make an incredible tour and put on a night that thousands of fans will never forget.

Hello! Just a quick note to say I'll be posting 'Week 12' on Friday or maybe over the weekend this week as it's my last week at uni before Christmas, so I might as well talk about the whole week!

Thank you for reading!
