“Christmas Burns Red has become the highlight of the year for us as a band,” says ABR. “It’s been amazing to see CBR turn into a community gathering of ABR fans from all over the world. This December, we’ve put together our most exciting line up yet. We’re ready to deliver Rescue & Restore from start to finish and then play a massive set spanning our entire career the following night. We look forward to seeing lots of familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.”
