Rumors spread over the internet about the tour, once a collection of mysterious videos surfaced (view below).
Founder, David Benveniste, of Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group, who rep ALICE IN CHAINS and DEFTONES said, "Rather than launch with a traditional tour announcement, we wanted to engage the fans first.......We gave them a cryptic clip featuring video snippets of each band and they lit up the Internet. Now there's an entire online community talking about the tour and speculating about the bands involved. It's thrilling to see them communicate and respond so positively to this exciting tour."
ALICE IN CHAINS guitarist/vocalist Jerry Cantrell went on to say, ""We're really looking forward to touring with our friends, DEFTONES and MASTODON........Each band has its own unique flavor and the combination of all three will make for a great show and a good time on the road."
