SOAD/Mars Volta Summer Tour

Here's a tour i would love to see. Too bad it's coming nowhere near my neck of the woods.

System Of A Down will launch its previously announced tour with the Mars Volta Aug. 4-5 in Long Beach, Calif. The trek, which will also feature Bad Acid Trip, will run through Sept. 1 in Toronto. Pre-sale information can be found on SOAD's official Web site.

System's first major North American tour since 2002 comes in support of its new American/Columbia album, "Mezmerize," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard
200 last month and has already sold more than 827,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The Mars Volta's recent Universal set "Frances the Mute" debuted in March at a career-best No. 4 on The Billboard 200 and has shifted more than 347,000 copies to date.
