Two years ago, Plan B rocked Beer mania and everyone had an amazing night. They are back for their "Second Time Around" tour in China. The most ambitious tour yet for Plan B, an Adelaide based rock outfit that started in the 1980s and reformed again in 2009, the Second Time Around tour currently includes 15 booked gigs across 13 cities, including three festival appearances. In its previous "Three Steps Closer" tour in China, the band performed 10 gigs across three cities. The cities such as Shijiazhuang, Zhenjiang and Changzhou where PlanB is performing on the current tour are not well known to the West and are regarded as "villages" in the China context, but each has a population of well over 3 million people.
