STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has announced details of their upcoming North American headline tour. The hugely anticipated dates will begin Tuesday, August 10 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 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 7 at Winnipeg's Inns Stadium; and the Arizona Fall Frenzy '10, slated for Friday, September 17 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 11 and 89.7 The River's River Riot 2010 at Council Bluffs, Iowa's Westfair Amphitheater on Saturday, August 14.

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.

A new STONE TEMPLE PILOTS single, "Take A Load Off", will be released later this month. A companion video is currently in production.
