Hollerado Returning To China, Touring South America This Fall

Hollerado will embark on what they're calling the "Half-World Tour" this fall when they play shows in Brazil, Argentina and China.

The Manotick, Ont. band will spend October and early November opening for Arkells throughout Ontario before they head to the southern hemisphere for the second half of November. They'll then head to China for a whopping 14 shows.

"We know it's not actually a tour of half the world, but we come from a town of 5,000 people, so it sure feels that way," singer/guitarist Menno Versteeg says. "If you add up the populations of the cities we're playing on this tour it's almost 200 million people!"

This isn't the first time Hollerado have been to China. They performed there earlier this year as part of TransmitCHINA, a four-day trade event focussed on cementing the relationship between the Canadian music industry and the Asian market, and also played shows across the country.

Hollerado will appear on Asia Uncut, an English-language nighttime talk show that features English-speaking and Asian celebrities. About 120 million people in 53 different countries watch the show.
