The band announced the news Thrusday on Instagram by writing, “14 North American Cities. 18 Shows In The Round. 2 Festival Stops. 1 Unforgettable Tour. Tickets go on sale Friday, September 27. Fan Club Presales begin Monday, September 23.”
The tour will kick off on April 12 at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas. It will then move to Toronto for two nights, followed by performances at Nissan Stadium in Nashville and the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio.
