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 Lollapalooza and 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.
