They played Germany's legendary Rockpalast venue[4] (which was later broadcast on WDR), Rhythm Festival, Off The Tracks Festival, Cornbury Festival, High Voltage Festival, the UK leg of Sonisphere Festival, and completed a mini tour of the UK in December, finishing with a headline slot at London's Scala venue.[5] They were also nominated Best New Band at the 2011 Classic Rock Roll Of Honour.[6]
