- Deconstruction Tour
-
Deconstruction Tour is a one-day punk music and skate festival that is staged in various countries across Europe. It first took place in 1999, and has occurred annually since. The tour is arranged by Destiny Tourbooking. In general, the tour offers the opening slot of each day to a local, often unsigned band, with the following acts increasing in notability throughout the lineup. The festival also includes displays by BMX riders and skaters.
Aside from the first year, 2006 was possibly the least successful for the tour, due to problems with booking bands and the limited number of dates that were actually booked.[1] The tour will not go ahead in 2007, but it is hoped it will return in 2008.

There was no tour in 2007, and although the organisers hoped to bring it back for 2008,[2] it appears that there will be no further Deconstruction Tours.[3]
