The tour kicks off on October 14 and is in support of the their forthcoming album which is due out later this fall.

Currently Mike Ness and crew are wrapping up recording on Social Distortion's seventh studio album and follow-up to their critically adored and fan coveted 2004 album, Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll.

Touring for the first time since 2009's memorable excursion of Europe and the US, which included dates with Pearl Jam, and the band's recent jaunt to Brazil and Argentina earlier this year, Social Distortion will be performing a few select warm-up shows before hitting the main stage at this summer's Outside Lands.

Following the festival dates, the band will take a month off before returning to the stage to unveil their first new album in six years for music hungry fans across the country on one of the fall's most awaited tours.

Formed in Fullerton, CA in 1979, Social Distortion have spent the last three decades performing their signature style of roots driven rock 'n' roll and hard luck stories for fans worldwide while recording six classic, critically heralded albums including Mommy's Little Monster, Prison Bound, Social Distortion, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, White Light, White Heat, White Trash and the aforementioned Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll.
