Help LoNero Tour the U.S.

LoNero are heading out on a 25 city tour across the United States with original Iron Maiden vocalist Paul Di'Anno starting on December 21st and ending January 20th. We will be main support for Di'Anno as well as his backing band. Some expenses are paid for however it is still expensive to go on tour. Things like merchandise, fuel etc costs a lot. Unfortunately we don't have a major label supporting us.
From the beginning we have always gone against what is the trend of the day. We play music we are passionate about and others are passionate about listening to. To us the most important thing is the music and the fans.

Our fans have always been some of the most loyal around and we can't thank each of you enough. For years we've been getting emails from fans asking us to play near them. This tour is our way of finally bringing our music directly to you. It's very important for us to do this nationwide tour to meet our fans. They've stuck with us through the years and it's the least we can do to say "thank you" personally.

What We Need and What You Get

• We need to raise $10,000 for a van, more merchandise, fuel, etc. 
• $2,500 for van rental
• $1,500 for fuel
• $4,500 for merchandise (CDs, shirts, posters, stickers)
• $1,500 for miscellaneous
• What you get for helping us is everything from a shoutout on our Twitter/Facebook page to autographed CDs, personal phone calls, backstage passes and even dinner with the band before a show. A few of you will even get to hang out during soundcheck, get a guitar lesson backstage and more (full details of perks are available on the campaign page).
• Even if we don't reach our goal any funding will still go towards the tour (but we really hope we can reach our goal of $10,000)

The Impact

• Your contribution is invaluable to us. By contributing any amount you will be helping us get our music out there to a wider audience. Live music is suffering because less and less bands can afford to tour. We LOVE playing live and want to bring our passion to our fans.
• We really want to make this tour not only successful for us but for our fans as well.
