Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm Announce Dates for 2012 U.S. Tour

After revealing last week that they were touring together, Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm have now unveiled the dates for their joint U.S. tour.

The trek, dubbed the Mass Chaos Tour, kicks off April 13 in Augusta, Ga., and runs through a May 18 show in Bangor, Maine.

"We're very excited to get back out with our Massachusetts brothers again," says Godsmack singer Sully Erna about hitting the road with Staind. "It's been a pinch too long, and all hell is about to break loose!"

Adds Staind frontman Aaron Lewis, "Going on tour with Godsmack was a no-brainer. Our fans are in for one hell of a rock show."

Meanwhile, Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale declares, "I am stoked to be supporting Godsmack and Staind on this tour! To be touring with the two bands of my generation that paved the way for modern rock is an honor! This line up will crush your skulls!"

The name of the tour was selected by a fan vote, and the a contest has been set up for fans to design the tour poster. See the details of the contest here.
