STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has announced details of their upcoming North American headline tour. The hugely anticipated dates will begin Tuesday, August 10th at Denver, Colorado's world-famous Red Rocks Amphitheatre and then continue through early September. Joining Stone Temple Pilots on all dates will be special guests CAGE THE ELEPHANT.

Stone Temple Pilots - the Grammy Award-winning band's first all-new collection in close to a decade - is currently the #1 rock album in the country. The band will bookend the upcoming trek with headline appearances at a pair of North American festivals: Manitoba's annual Rock On The Range on Saturday, August 7th at Winnipeg's Inns Stadium; and the Arizona Fall Frenzy '10, slated for Friday, September 17th at Phoenix's Tempe Beach Park. In addition, the band will headline the annual Rock 'N Rev Festival in Sturgis, South Dakota on Wednesday, August 11th and 89.7 The River's River Riot 2010 at Council Bluffs, Iowa's Westfair Amphitheater on Saturday, August 14th.

Stone Temple Pilots - who will spend the early part of their summer on the other side of the Atlantic, hitting Europe for a series of long awaited headline shows and festival performances - heralded the release of the acclaimed Stone Temple Pilots with a rare club appearance at New York City's Gramercy Theatre, followed by headline performances at a number of early summer radio festivals. The band also made high-profile TV appearances performing on Late Show with David Letterman and two consecutive nights on Jimmy Kimmel Live! What's more, Live From Chicago - an all-new concert special presented by StubHub, the world's largest ticket marketplace - recently received multiple airings on a variety of MTV networks, including MTV2, VH1, and Palladia.

Produced by Stone Temple Pilots and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (GREEN DAY, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE), Stone Temple Pilots sees one of rock's greatest bands continuing to explore their enduring approach to music - melding big riffs, classic pop hooks, and the restless experimentalism of glam, punk, and psychedelia.

Among the album's many highlights is the raucous first single, 'Between The Lines'. The track has proven a rock radio sensation, recently spending four weeks as the #1 track at Mainstream Rock radio outlets nationwide, as well as three weeks atop the Modern Rock airplay charts. In addition, the 'Between The Lines' companion video can be seen regularly on MTV2 and Fuse’s No. 1 Countdown. The clip - as well as exclusive behind-the-scenes footage - is streaming now at www.stonetemplepilots.com. Furthermore, a new single, 'Take A Load Off' will be released later this month. A companion video is currently in production.
