The tour marks the official return of original front men Jon Mess and Jonny Craig (Emarosa, Isles & Glaciers).

DGD Drummer Matt Mingus tells fans, "We are all really excited to be back with the original line up! The new album is already mostly written and so far we are all very pleased with the way things are turning out! We can't wait for you to hear the finished product!"

Dance Gavin Dance is currently holed up in the studio, recording the long awaited follow up to 2009's Happiness. The new album, titled Downtown Battle Mountain Pt. II (the sequel to the 2007 best seller, Downtown Battle Mountain) will be released March 8th on Rise Records, to coincide with the tour.

Dance Gavin Dance is also confirmed to perform on the entire Warped tour in 2011.
