Petty and his band released their debut self-titled album in 1976

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will embark on a 40th anniversary tour of North America in 2017.

The band, led by the legendary guitarist, actually celebrated the 40th anniversary of their debut self-titled album last month. However, Petty and his band will continue to celebrate the milestone next year with an extensive tour of the continent.

Kicking off in Oklahoma City on April 20, the tour will carry on until July, where it wraps up at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York on July 27. US talk show host Jimmy Fallon announced the tour last night during a skit on The Tonight Show – watch the video, starring Petty, below.
