Audioslave locks in venues for fall tour

With the kick-off of its North American tour less than a month away, Audioslave has nailed down venues for most of the run.

The rock supergroup is scheduled to kick things off Sept. 24 at Bakersfield, CA's Rabobank Arena, and will canvas the U.S. and Canada until at least mid-November.

Tickets for several shows are on sale now, and those for a number of October and November stops are scheduled to hit the box office this month. Details appear in the itinerary below.

Information about ticket pre-sales is posted at Audioslave's website.

Audioslave--former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello (guitar), Tim Commerford (bass) and Brad Wilk (drums), and former Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell--are hitting the road behind their sophomore album, "Out of Exile." Released in May, the set debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

The setlist for the upcoming run will feature Audioslave originals, as well as material from the Rage and Soundgarden archives, which the group avoided during its tour behind its self-titled, 2002 debut.

As previously reported, Seether and Kasabian will occupy the tour's opening slots.

"The members of Audioslave are such a critical part of my history as a musician," Seether frontman Shawn Morgan said in a statement. "They inspired me as a kid right down to the core of how I learned to play music. The fact that I'll get to spend every night watching these guys live is the most exciting part of our getting this tour."

Seether is backing its May release, "Karma and Effect," which debuted at No. 8 on The Billboard 200 album chart. The set features the hit single "Remedy," and the soon-to-be-released follow-up cut "Truth."

Kasabian issued its self-titled debut last year, and last month released via digital-music retailers a 14-track set titled "Live from Brixton Academy," which the band recorded in December of last year. More information is posted at the group's website.
