LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The recently reunited Stone Temple Pilots will next week announce plans for a summer tour of more than 50 amphitheatres, sources said.

The L.A. rock group has already confirmed a handful of festival dates, beginning with the Rock on the Range festival in Columbus, Ohio, on May 17-18.

Further details about STP's tour will be announced during an April 7 news conference at the Harry Houdini Estate in Los Angeles. It is still unclear whether the band will record new material.

Rock on the Range will be Stone Temple Pilots' first show since 2002, when it played 13 concerts to promote its final album, 2001's "Shangri-La Dee Da."

Singer Scott Weiland went on to co-found Velvet Revolver, which is about to conclude a European tour in support of its second album. But he and drummer Matt Sorum are engaged in a public feud, casting doubt on the outfit's future.

I really hope they make it to the U.K. Definitely on my list of bands I want to see before I kick the bucket!

I think I heard that Weiland won't be touring with them though...

I'd be more concerned about seeing STP before Weiland kicked the bucket. hahaha

I also heard the same thing - Weiland isn't supposed to be touring with them...from what I heard they had a spat and the rest of the guys kicked him out of the band? Anyway - I heard it on the radio the other morning and you know how unreliable those morning show folks can be.
