Atlanta, Georgia (Top40 Charts/ The Ace Agency) Ed Roland, founding member of rock band
Collective Soul, plans to join the
Kings of
Chaos tour for three recently announced concert dates in South Africa in June 2013.
"The energy of the fans and support of the music community is so great, we all knew that
Kings of
Chaos had to play in South Africa."
Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke, Duff McKagan and special guest
Slash of
Guns N' Roses make up half of the
Kings of
Chaos power group for the South African dates. Def Leppard's Joe Elliot and Vivian Campbell, Skid Row's
Sebastian Bach, Deep Purple's
Glenn Hughes and
Collective Soul's Ed Roland complete the all-star line up. Sorum is the brainchild behind the project and wanted to form a band of close friends to tour the world playing each other's greatest hits. To date,
Kings of
Chaos has played in Central and Latin America.
In October 2012 Ed Roland performed with Heineken
Symphonic Rock, presented by AMP Events. "I had such a great time in South Africa and really enjoyed working with the AMP Events team," commented Roland. "The energy of the fans and support of the music community is so great, we all knew that
Kings of
Chaos had to play in South Africa."

Chaos will play GrandWest's Grand
Arena in Cape Town on June 8 and the Sun City Superbowl, North West on June 15 and 16 courtesy of AMP Events and Sun International. Tickets for Cape Town are priced from R375 and Sun City from R460 and are currently on-sale through Computicket.
