HIM Returns To The U.S.

After canceling a set of U.S. dates earlier this year because frontman Ville Valo was ailing, HIM is ready for another shot at a headline excursion through the States. The Finish rock band’s 2014 outing begins March 7 in West Hollywood.

The new tour won’t be the first time HIM has played the U.S. since Valo was diagnosed with severe asthma with presumptive pneumonia in early May – but it is the band’s first chance to return to the stage as a headliner. In August the band played the U.S. and Canada as part of Monster Energy’s “Rock Allegiance Tour” with Volbeat, All That Remains, and Airbourne.
