The band, which also features Guns N' Roses guitarist DJ Ashba, will be embarking on the tour in support of their third studio album, "Modern Vintage," which was released earlier this week.

The tour will feature support from Apocalyptica and is set to kick off on April 8th in San Francisco at The Regency Ballroom and will conclude on April 29th in Silver Springs, MD at The Fillmore.

Sixx, Ashba and singer James Michael will be joined on the tour by drummer Jeff Fabb (In This Moment, Black Label Society, Filter) and the Apocalyptica will be the supporting act.

Nikki Sixx had this to say about the trek, "Fans have been asking for years 'When is Sixx A.M. gonna tour?' and we've finally announced our first headline tour. We can't wait to play these songs live and put on a rock extravaganza for our fans. We're excited to announce that we're bringing along Apocalyptica as special guest because we are fans of their music and think this is going to be an amazing night of music from beginning to end'.

Apocalyptica's Eicca Toppinen says, 'When we heard about this tour, we loved the idea right away! We were on Nikki's radio show before and had a great time. I really liked Sixx A.M.'s first two albums and am very much looking forward to the new record. Going on tour with Sixx A.M. will bring a great night of music to all our fans."

DJ Ashba adds, "Over the years we feel we have taken our fans on some pretty incredible and diverse musical journeys. However, they have only been able to experience half of our vision. For the first time we are going to present a visual journey to go along with the music. This tour will be something you won't want to miss. This will be the ultimate Sixx A.M.. Experience".
