Get ready for a wild and raucous summer when 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul co-headline the “Rock & Roll Express Tour,” with special guest Soul Asylum on select dates.

Produced by Live Nation, the tour gets underway in Atlanta July 6 and rumbles across the continent with cities including Tampa, Las Vegas, Baltimore and Salt Lake City.  Last stop is Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Ariz.

“Soul Asylum, Collective Soul and 3 Doors Down. That’s a big night of hits,” 3 Doors Down’s Brad Arnold said in a statement.

“It’s going to be an exciting summer,” Collective Soul’s Ed Roland added.  “Not only are we going to be out with a great band, but also some great friends.  I look forward to seeing everyone come out and rock with us, 3 Doors Down, and Soul Asylum.”

Soul Asylum will also lend a hand to 3 Doors Down’s charity, “The Better Life Foundation,” when both bands perform at the charity’s thirdannual concert at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, N.C., Oct. 27.
