Stone Sour Announce 2012 Tour + 2013 Soundwave Festival Dates

Stone Sour have confirmed the first leg of a massive global tour push to support House of Gold & Bones,' playing shows on five continents so far with many more to come. Included is their first European tour in two years - their first since the hugely successful 'Audio Secrecy' album cycle, which saw the band headline the mammoth Download Festival's Stage 2, and sell-out two nights at Hammersmith Apollo. Festival appearances confirmed so far include Loud Park in Japan and Soundwave in Australia (with Metallica and Linkin Park). All dates are listed below.

Says Taylor: "It's gonna be awesome to bring the House of Gold and Bones to the fans live. We're all psyched to come to Japan and South America right away as well- they're some of the best fans in the world! We gave people a taste of Part One, now we're gonna bring them the best Stone Sour show they've ever seen. Get ready: it begins soon…"
