The second leg of their tour, which follows a worldwide tour that concludes in July, will take the band through cities such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Dallas, Kansas City, Mo., and Denver, before wrapping up in Phoenix on Sept. 15.

The most recent of the band's eight GRAMMY nominations was Best Hard Rock Performance at the 53rd GRAMMY Awards for "A Looking In View." Their 2013 album, The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here, as well as their preceding 2009 album, Black Gives Way To Blue, were both produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Ghost, Korn), who is also working on their latest.

As the extended tour dates cross the Southwest, established fans and the newly curious will have a late-summer chance to experience what new steps are in store with Alice in Chains' latest album.
