Avatar Announce North American Headlining Tour
Avatar have announced that they will be hitting the road for a North American summer headlining tour. The band will be joined on each date by Light The Torch and Otep. The tour is slated to kick off on Toronto, ON on July 6th and will wrap up on July 31st in Tucson, AZ. There is a scheduled stop in Sacramento, CA on July 29th at Ace of Spades.
Avatar are currently working on their ninth studio album, and have issued the following statement via press release about the tour:
"They don't let us out much while we make our albums, so this summer will most likely turn out very dangerous for everyone involved. For all the tours we've done in North America, we have spent very little time there in the summer. Surely this must have led to a lot of unnecessary suffering that we are adamant on setting straight by applying necessary suffering. We know people crave some light-hearted tunes for their make out sessions on the beach, and some sweet melodies as they watch the sun set over the lake. We are here to destroy every single moment of summer time serenity. The sun will be the second hottest thing you'll see in July. To finally do something with Otep feels great, and to once again hit the road with Light the Torch will be awesome, as well."
