The band will also play shows in Manchester and London. Lead singer Luke Jenner said: "This has been a long time coming.

"This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I've lived through and learned along the way.

I needed to fix my marriage, be there for my son and ultimately work on myself. This tour marks a new chapter for me, one shaped by everything I've lived through and learned along the way.

More from Spin: Moby Ascends to a Higher Calling 'Sorry, Baby' Dares Us to Smile Pearl Jam Drummer Matt Cameron Steps Down From Band The Rapture broke through in 2003 with the DFA Records release Echoes, which boasted the iconic dance-driven rock single 'House of Jealous Lovers.' The group's last studio album, In the Grace of Your Love, came out in 2011. 'Sometimes people ask me if I have guilty pleasures, and I don't any more,' Jenner told SPIN in 2011 when asked if he'd ever considered working in a different style of music. 'I'm old enough to say, 'Who cares what somebody thinks.' While I'm not going out dancing at clubs anymore, I did that for years. It's still there. It doesn't take much to wake that up in me. I love dance music just as much as I love rock'n'roll, and I don't see much of a distinction.' 09.16 – First Avenue – Minneapolis, MN09.18 – Ogden Theatre – Denver, CO09.19 – The Depot – Salt Lake City, UT09.21 – Portola Festival – San Francisco, CA09.23 – Humphrey's – San Diego, CA09.24 – The Van Buren – Phoenix, AZ09.26 – Emo's – Austin, TX09.27 – The Studio at The Factory – Dallas, TX09.30 – Buckhead Theatre – Atlanta, GA10.01 – Marathon Music Works – Nashville, TN10.03 – Riviera Theatre – Chicago, IL10.04 – Masonic Temple Theater – Detroit, MI10.05 – Danforth Music Hall – Toronto, ON10.07 – Union Transfer – Philadelphia, PA10.08 – Brooklyn Steel – Brooklyn, NY10.09 – House of Blues – Boston, MA10.10 – 9:30 Club – Washington, DC11.11 – St. Luke's – Glasgow, UK11.12 – New Century Hall – Manchester, UK11.13 – HERE at Outernet – London, UK11.15 – Fabrik – Hamburg, DE11.17 – Huxleys – Berlin, DE11.19 – Paradiso – Amsterdam, NE11.20 – Salle Pleyel – Paris, FR11.21 – Trix – Antwerp, BE11.23 – Razzmatazz 2 – Barcelona, SP To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, click here.
