Stone Temple Pilots beef up North American tour

Reunited band will play 60 cities on the jaunt

Stone Temple Pilots have added a string of dates to their forthcoming reunion tour, kicking off this Saturday (May 17) in Columbus, OH.

As previously reported, they played an intimate show in Los Angeles last month, during which they performed seven of their biggest hits and expressed excitement at their forthcoming stint on the road.

The band’s reunion comes in the wake of Scott Weiland’s acrimonious split with former band Velvet Revolver.

Wallingford, CT Chevrolet Theatre (May 25)
Detroit, MI The Fillmore Detroit (June 4)
Indianola, IA KAZR Radio Event @ National Balloon Classic Field (July 5)
Montreal, Quebec Bell Centre (July 11)
