Women have been rocking the stage hard thus far during Halestorm's summer tour with In This Moment. Now the GRAMMY-winning band have announced they are adding fall tour dates to continue the "badassery."

"The female-fronted badassery is continuing this fall," Halestorm tweeted out along with a reminder that their new album, Vicious, will be out soon (July 27). The tour will continue with In This Moment, fronted by Maria Brink, and New Years Day, fronted by Ash Costello.
When the tour was announced in February, Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale talked about the significance of a female-fronted tour.
"We are a few of the hardest working women in rock, so the fact that we are all on the same stage every night is something not to be missed!" Hale said. "This lineup is a beautiful display of what it means to be a strong female example for rock fans everywhere."
Hale is not new to breaking down barriers for women in rock. When Halestorm won Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for "Love Bites (So Do I)" at the 55th Grammy Awards, she became the first female to win the GRAMMY in the category.
New Years Day has been opening shows so far on the tour, and Costello told Consequence Of Sound touring with Hale and Brink is the best touring experience she has ever had.
"I am lifted up and supported by the amazing women of this tour, and everyone feels as if they are family who are rooting for each other to kill it every single night,” she said.
The fall leg of the tour will start Nov. 16 in Norfolk, Va. and end Dec. 16 in St. Petersburg, Fla. For more information on tour dates and tickets, see here.
