Iced Earth announce Fall U.S. Tour Schedule

My main beef with seeing Into Eternity open every metal tour is that they never mix up the set list, so every time I see them pretty much blends together. Hopefully there will at least be some new tunes from the new album played.
 
I am hoping a STL or Kansas date is announced in one of those gaps in the schedule.

I think that's unlikely. This doesn't appear to be routed like a normal tour. If you look at the way the dates are laid out, it exactly matches what Schaffer has previously said regarding Barlow's work schedule. Barlow apparently works a 4 days on / 3 days off schedule. So I'm guessing for the first part of the tour, (10 shows in 10 days) he has his regular 3 days off, followed by 4 days of vacation, then another 3 days off. Then there are two 3-day mini tours in October. So I'm guessing additional dates in one of the gaps are unlikely. Perhaps more likely is the possibility of more dates later in the year, because I'd imagine they'd want to play a couple shows in Texas, and hitting the midwest at the same time is theoretically possible. That's obviously just speculation though.
