The tour kicks off on January 25th at Hard Rock Live Arena at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and will hit major arenas across the U.S. and Canada through mid-March. One highlight of the 33-city itinerary will be a special Valentine�s Day show at New York�s Madison Square Garden. Tickets go on sale this Saturday, November 17th.

�We�re all completely pumped about getting back together and heading out on the road after all this time, especially since we have a bunch of new songs to play for everyone,� said vocalist Rob Thomas. �And we�re thrilled to be joined by the brilliant Alanis Morissette and the fantastic New Orleans band MUTEMATH. It�s going to be a great show, and we can�t wait to get out there.�
