Founded in 1999 by Hopeless Records and Sub City Non-Profit, the Take Action! Tour has been making its way around the US and Canada on an annual basis, with previous participants including acts as diverse as Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Every Time I Die and Avenged Sevenfold.

2009 marks the first time the tour has ventured to Australia, with Hopeless Records own All Time Low and San Franciscan pop-punk/hardcore enthusiasts Set Your Goals leading the charge, while Melbourne quintet Stealing ONeal will also be jumping on board as the national support.

The Take Action! Tour supports and promotes the work of ReachOut.com, an Australian youth service dedicated to reducing youth suicide. From each ticket sold, Take Action! will donate 10% (excluding GST) to ReachOut.com to help them continue to provide young people with an anonymous and free support website which provides info and advice on issues like depression, bullying, wellbeing and relationships.
