Alice in Chains Expand Summer Tour Schedule with Canadian Dates

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 23, 2013

Alice in Chains have already announced plans to hit up Toronto this year as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival, and now the grunge vets have confirmed a number of Canadian dates of their own for the summer.

Following a spring trip through the U.S. and a brief trip to Europe, the band will head to Canada in July. This short leg includes stops in six Canuck cities: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, London, Ottawa and Montreal. Note that the Ottawa gig is a recently confirmed appearance at the city's Bluesfest, while the Vancouver show is with Monster Truck as part of Foxfest.

In an announcement on Alice in Chains' website, the band called these shows their "first ever cross-Canadian tour."

These concerts are in support of the band's new album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, the release date of which has been pushed back from May 14 to May 28 via Virgin/EMI. The recently unveiled clip for "Stone" is streaming below the tour dates.
