Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers will delay the start of their summer arena tour to accommodate a new release date for the band's first album in eight years, "Mojo."
The reshuffling affects the first nine dates of the trek, which originally was set to kick off May 6 in Raleigh, NC. The rescheduled dates have been moved to the back end of the 26-city outing, with those shows now set to go off in September and early October.
Tickets for the originally scheduled concerts will be honored on the new dates, and refunds will also be issued at the point of purchase. The reconfigured trek kicks off June 8 in Vancouver. Dates are shown at
this location.
Fans who purchase concert tickets online will receive an MP3 download of every track on the forthcoming "Mojo," according to a press release. Two tracks - "First Flash Of Freedom" and "Good Enough" - will be available for immediate download, and fans can access the remainder of the songs on June 15, the album's physical release date. Online ticket purchases will also come with a handful of live tracks recorded during the 2010 tour, which will be delivered later in the year.
