Your favourite idol show Rockstar Supernova is on its way Downunder! The
all-star band with Tommy, Gilby, Jason and brand new Supernova-winning vocalist

next March, with Aussie finalist Toby Rand and his band Juke Kartel as support.

It was one of the highest-rating TV series in Foxtel's history, and now the
all-star band Rock Star Supernova is on their way to Australia!

The all-star band featuring Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, former Guns N' Roses
guitarist Gilby Clarke, ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and new lead vocalist
Toronto native Lukas Rossi will play shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and
New Zealand in March 2007.

The new quartet, who are currently in the studio finishing off their highly
anticipated debut album with producer Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Pink, Bowling
For Soup), will deliver their album November 18, with the first two singles
'It's All Love' and 'Be Yourself & 5 Other Cliches,' both available for purchase
now at Yahoo! Music Unlimited www.music.yahoo.com

Lukas Rossi, who joins the group after an exhaustive search spanning 25,000
entrants, 22 cities and 6 continents, describes his win as "the gig of a
lifetime."

"That I'll be singing in a band with Tommy, Gilby and Jason - guys that I've
always respected - is just surreal. Can't wait to get started," he says.

"Lukas is the real deal," says Tommy Lee, who himself can't wait to get back to
Australia where he has been a regular visitor in recent years. "Lukas proved
that he's got the voice and swagger to front this band. He's gonna tear it up in
the studio and then we're taking the show on the road. Wear a cup, kids."

But it wouldn't be Rock Star Supernova without the Aussie who came oh-so close
to winning, so we've invited Toby Rand and his band Juke Kartel to be the tour's
very special guests.

Juke Kartel is sure to have a huge fan base of their own on the tour, with the
five-piece band cutting their teeth around the Melbourne scene for the past 18
months, and supporting Nickelback at their Melbourne Rod Laver Arena show in
April.

Rock Star Supernova amassed huge ratings during its 11 weeks for Australian
broadcaster Fox 8, ending its season with a two-hour finale that reached almost
600,000 viewers and securing its place as the highest rating general
entertainment series ever on subscription television.

One of the world's most watched new bands will kick-off a 27-city trek through
the US until February 27, with two shows in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve and New
Year's Day, then head to our shores on March 15.

With only three shows scheduled, you should move quick to grab your tix when
they go on sale Tuesday, October 24.
