The band will launch its run on April 30 at the Welcome To Rockville festival in Jacksonville, Florida, ending three weeks later at Ohio's Rock On The Range event on May 22. The British act is supporting its fifth studio album, "That's The Spirit", which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart, selling 62,000 copies in its first week of release.
