HIM Set to Embark on North America Tour

Tracy Heck
Starting on Friday, March 26 in Philadelphia and ending on Friday, May 7 in New York, Finnish rock band HIM will begin their North American tour in support of their seventh studio album Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice.

The 28-city tour will also feature performances by openers We Are The Fallen, Dommin and Drive A.

The HIM tour will criss-cross the continent with dates from Ontario to Chicago to Georgia.

Ticket pre-sales for some shows are still available on the band's website, http://tixx1.artistarena.com/him, and continue until the individual pre-sale tickets sell out.

During the presale, fans can buy stand-alone tickets, or buy tickets that come with a copy of the band's new album. There will also be a VIP pre-sale in which fans who buy tickets will receive a deluxe CD, as well as a limited-edition album artwork lithograph, and a VIP tour laminate granting them early entry to the concert venue.

Tickets for the shows are also available at all Live Nation and Ticketmaster locations.

Screamworks: Love In Theory and Practice is HIM's seventh studio album and the follow-up to 2007's Venus Doom, which debuted at No. 12 in the U.S. and was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Boxed/Special Limited Edition Packaging."

Screamworks was recorded at The Lair in Los Angeles. The album was produced by Matt Squire (Taking Back Sunday, The Used, Saosin) and mixed by Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Weezer, Fall Out Boy).
