Up until now Lacuna Coil’s U.S. plans were mainly about festivals and appearing on the Megadeth/Rob Zombie tour in May. But the newly announced headline dates are another beast entirely.

That’s because you’re going to get a whole lotta Lacuna Coil this time around. For the upcoming headlining run, dubbed the “Dark Legacy” tour, the band will play two-hour plus sets encompassing all of the band’s albums from 1999’s In Reverie to 2012’s Dark Adrenaline.

While there’s only a few dates currently on the schedule, the band promises more shows will be announced soon. Starting in San Diego at SOMA April 7, dates include Anaheim, Calif., at House Of Blues April 8; West Hollywood’s Key Club April 10; Portland, Ore., at Aladdin Theater April 13; Boise, Idaho, at Knitting Factory April 14; Spokane, Wash., at Knitting Factory April 16; Denver at the Summit Music Hall April 18; El Paso, Texas, at Tricky Falls April 21 and Albuquerque, N.M., at Sunshine Theatre April 22.

“We wanted to give our fans a special present for Lacuna Coil’s 15th anniversary and that was the inspiration for the Dark Legacy tour,” the band’s Andrea Ferro said. “The Dark Legacy show will be very special, with a lot of our history in a surprised-filled set. You won’t want to miss it!”
