Halestorm Announce Dates for Extensive 2012 World Tour

Halestorm have announced a lengthy itinerary that features headlining gigs, festival appearances and support slots that will carry the band well into October.

The band is currently making the rounds as tour support for Staind and Godsmack on the Mass Chaos tour, which ends on May 16. After an impressive chart debut for Halestorm's sophomore album -- 'The Strange Case of...' debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 -- the band is ready to take center stage and have announced an extensive list of tour dates that will see them visiting multiple countries between now and October.

While most of their dates are headlining appearances, they are playing a pair of dates as the openers for Avenged Sevenfold, as well as some festival appearances. On the section of the tour that spans June 25 - July 19, Halestorm will receive support from openers New Medicine and Emphatic.
