Vans is proud to announce that The Devil Wears Prada will be headlining the Vans Off The Wall Music Tour. Vans had already established ties with The Devil Wears Prada back in 2011 by releasing their limited edition footwear. 

The 12 date tour will focus on the sensational “Dead Throne” album, which has received rave reviews, hailed as “accomplished, deft and unbelievably powerful from start to finish” by Rock Sound, and “the best album the Ohio outfit have yet produced” by Kerrang. Metal Hammer gave it 8/10 and called it “stunning”.  Throughout the tour, the band will be stopping by at various Vans stores up and down the UK for in-store signings. For your chance to meet the band in person, be sure to make your way to the relevant Vans store on the dates outlined below.
