Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas has a new album coming out next week and a massive fall tour to back it. The tour as announced so far will run from September through mid-November and includes stops in over 30 cities. Venues have not been announced yet, but cities and dates are listed below. (You can probably guess the venue for many of them.)

Thomas' album, his second solo effort following the "...Something to Be" release in 2005, will be in stores June 30. "...Something to Be" debuted at number 1 making Thomas the first male artist from a rock or pop group to achieve that feat with their first solo album. The opening acts for the tour are OneRepublic and Carolina Liar.
