Veteran grunge rockers Alice in Chains [ tickets ] and supergroup Velvet Revolver [ tickets ] plan to link up this fall for a co-headlining tour.

The upcoming run marks AIC's latest outing with new frontman William Duvall, whom founding members Jerry Cantrell (guitar/vocals), and Sean Kinney (drums), along with longtime bassist Mike Inez, recruited for the group's 2006 reunion tour. That run marked the band's first roadwork in more than a decade. Original AIC vocalist Layne Staley died of a drug overdose in 2002.

Velvet Revolver [ tickets ] is gearing up for the July 3 release of its sophomore album, "Libertad."

The itinerary for the AIC/Velvet Revolver tour is still under wraps, but will be announced "soon," according to AIC's website.

Ani DiFranco [ tickets ] has revealed a Sept. 11 release date for "Canon," her first career-retrospective album. In addition to material culled from throughout her catalog, the two-disc set will also include newly recorded versions of the DiFranco classics "Napoleon," "Shameless," "Your Next Bold Move," "Both Hands" and "Overlap," according to a press release.

As previously reported, DiFranco will be on the road this summer.

"Something to Talk About," a collection of duets sung by Eddie Levert Sr. (The O'Jays) and his late son, Gerald Levert, will land in stores June 12, according to Atlantic Records. The set follows the pair's 1995 collaboration, "Father & Son."

Gerald Levert died last year from an accidental overdose of prescription medication.

British indie-rockers Mystery Jets have postponed their summer tour plans due to "visa issues," according to a press release.

"No folks, they haven't any criminal records nor have failed any government drug tests but have had the unfortunate reality of delays in paperwork and processing," the group's publicist said in a statement. "It happens, and to the best of bands quite apparently."

The group, which is currently in London working on its sophomore album, plans to announce make-up dates soon.
