According to livedaily.com Alt-rockers AFI will hit the road in December for a number of radio station-sponsored Christmas shows, with a number of fresh headlining dates coming down the pipeline for early next year.
The band, which is still backing its chart-topping June album release, "Decemberunderground," will tackle a schedule that begins with a Dec. 1 appearance at the O-Rock "No Snow Show" in Orlando, FL. AFI will join Angels and Airwaves, Taking Back Sunday and Buckcherry for the holiday-themed event.
AFI will also fill a slot at the Dec. 10 "Nightmare Before Xmas" in San Diego, topping a bill that also features My Chemical Romance. A February tour will follow the band's Christmas shenanigans, starting with a Feb. 5 headlining show in New Orleans. Despair Faction will handle opening duties for all of the band's shows currently scheduled in 2007, which are shown below.
