BBMak Lines Up Headlining Tour
  

By Robert Mancini for MTV.COM
  
After making the rounds with Britney Spears and winning fans with the 
single "Back Here," British pop import BBMak is set to hit the road 
again for its first U.S. headlining tour.

The trio will return to the road in the States on October 24 in 
Philadelphia and has a string of dates lined up through early 
December, including stops at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 
New York on November 23 and the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas 
on December 5.

The trek will find BBMak trying to follow up the success of its 
breakthrough single, "Back Here," with "Still On Your Side," the 
second offering from its debut album, "Sooner Or Later."

The guys (Christian Burns, Mark Barry, and Ste McNally) have tapped 
19-year-old singer-songwriter Jessica Riddle to open the tour. The 
jaunt will give Riddle the chance to introduce her debut album, "Key 
Of A Minor," which hit record stores in April, to a wider audience.

As they did on their tour with Britney, the threesome will once again 
try to distinguish themselves from other hunky male pop outfits by 
eschewing dance moves for musicianship on the road. 

"We come out and we play, and the reason we do that is because we 
love doing it live whenever we can, and we can't possibly sing to the 
best of our abilities if we're jumping around on stage," Burns told 
MTV News (see "BBMak Arrives With Britney Tour, Hit Single").
