Hot on the heels of some amazing shows around the country with Billy Talent and an appearance at the first UK Warped date in 13 years, AWOLNATION have announced their own tour for February 2013. The band will play their biggest headline show here on 15th February 2013 at Heaven in London.

In an interview with Kristin Houser of the LA Music Blog, he stated that he “would leave without saying goodbye because it was just easier, so that’s where the name AWOL came from.”
